Eastman Community Music School will hold its annual Homecoming, a tradition that began in 1998, from Thursday, Dec. 20, through Saturday, Dec. 22.
Originally a one-day extravaganza of concerts in venues across the Eastman School of Music campus, the event showcases the talent and musicianship of students of all ages and has grown in popularity each year.
Homecoming features concurrent performances by Eastman Community Music School students and ensembles ranging from those made up of middle school and high school students to ensembles composed of young adults and seniors. Current and former students, parents, and the public are invited to enjoy the events.
All performances, many of which include holiday favorites, are free. The listing of concerts, locations, and times includes:
