We are pleased to offer five exciting concerts for our 13th season!
Beginning with two concerts in 1995-96, we have now expanded to an average of five concerts a year, now called The Performing Artists Concert Series. David Perlman, an Electrical Engineering professor (now emeritus) runs the concert series along with the Center for Campus Life and has been able to draw top performers from the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, the Eastman School of Music, and a combination of other local and sometimes imported talent. It's purpose has been, from the beginning, to bring highly professional classical and jazz performers to the campus and to make playing opportunities available to talented artists who are somewhat unknown. Since an important goal is to make our music affordable, we've been holding ticket prices down.
Ticket Information:
Students: $6.00
Faculty/Staff: $14.00
