Rochester Symphony presents Inside Rochester: a trio of chamber music concerts from the three musical families in the orchestra: brass, winds and strings, performed in some of Rochester's most iconic downtown spaces.
This concert co-sponsored by Rochester Art Center will feature our string quartet featuring special guest Maestro Karim Wafsi, renowned cellist, conductor, and founder of Peace Through Arts Foundation. Known for his “spontaneous compositions,” solo cello performances held at sites of bombings in Iraq, Wasfi conducted the Iraqi National Symphony Orchestra from 2007-2016 and developed youth orchestra and music education programs for displaced young people. Along with his performance with the Rochester Symphony string quartet he will share stories of how music is leading the effort to achieve healing and peace.
Co-sponsored by Rochester Art Center with support from the Iraqi and American Reconciliation Project.
