The second concert in the new “Eastman at St. Michael’s Series” of monthly vocal and instrumental recitals will be presented at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 22. Performing in the historic St. Michael’s Roman Catholic Church will be Eastman School of Music students Erica Washburn, soprano, and Christopher Petit, organ.
The concert is free and open to the public and will be followed by a reception and by the 4 p.m. Mass during which Washburn will perform special music. Donations can be directed to the church.
The recital series is a collaboration between the Eastman School and St. Michael’s Roman Catholic Church and features vocal and instrumental performance majors from the Eastman School. Located at 869 North Clinton Ave. in Rochester, St. Michael’s is an 1888 Gothic Revival church that was designed by prominent Chicago architect Adolphus Druiding. The Lockport sandstone exterior features a 225-foot tower, a prominent visual landmark on the city’s northeast side. The interior, which is highlighted by stenciled walls, carvings of oak and gold leaf, and Austrian stained glass windows, is considered one of the most beautiful in the area.
The remaining concerts will take place at 2:30 p.m. on March 22, April 26, and May 24. For more information on “Eastman at St. Michael’s Series,” contact the Eastman School of Music at (585) 274-1564.
