The RPO at Eastman
The Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra has been one of the Northeast’s premier orchestral ensembles, performing a full season of classical, pops, and special programming at Eastman Theatre. Their 2025–2026 Philharmonics Series runs through the spring, with specific program, soloist, and conductor details varying date to date.
The May date falls within their spring programming run. For the specific program details — repertoire, guest soloists, and conductor notes — visit rpo.org/events/philharmonics/. The full program — repertoire, soloists, and conductor — is listed well in advance of each concert.
Whether you’re a regular RPO subscriber or attending for the first time, an evening at Eastman Theatre with the full orchestra is one of the genuinely great concert experiences in Upstate New York — a combination of acoustic excellence, professional musicianship, and a room that was built for exactly this kind of music.
