Arts Connexions
Discover Arts Connexions, a bold and vibrant concert series by the Rochester Oratorio Society that explores the rich intersections of classical music with diverse cultural, ethnic, and storytelling traditions. From gospel and jazz to Asian, Hispanic, Persian, African-American, and Indigenous musical voices, Arts Connexions celebrates the shared humanity of sound.
Immersive Programs
Each year’s installment invites you into a thoughtful journey. Past highlights include Freedom Song: When Gospel Came to the Empire and Water Ceremony.
Cultural Dialogue
Hear works and arrangements rooted in spirituals, art-song, and gospel by Black composers; connect with traditional music from Asia, Persia, and the Americas; explore the fusion of musical theatre, classical forms, and storytelling.
Storytelling in Song
It’s not just performance, it’s narrative. Whether through soloists, choruses, combo jazz groups, or instrumental ensembles, each program invites reflection, emotion, and community connection.
