Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra

Founded in 1922 with the patronage of George Eastman, the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra reflects the deep cultural investment that transformed this upstate New York city into an arts destination. The RPO performs at the Eastman Theatre, a grand concert venue adjoining the prestigious Eastman School of Music. This unique proximity to one of America's foremost conservatories creates a symbiotic relationship between professional performance and musical education. The Rochester Philharmonic continues to honor Eastman's vision of bringing world-class orchestral music to a community that prizes it.
