Third Thursday Concerts

On the third Thursday of each month, from October through May, the Eastman School of Music and the Memorial Art Gallery present varied concert programs by faculty and guest artists featuring Eastman’s Italian Baroque Organ. The Third Thursday concert series provides musicians and music-lovers the opportunity to experience authentic Baroque music on a regular basis. Its concerts highlight Eastman’s Italian Baroque Organ, which was built around 1770 in central Italy. Restored and installed in 2005 at the Memorial Art Gallery, the instrument is the only one of its kind in North America.

Admission to these concerts is included with museum admission, which is half-price on Thursday evenings after 5:00 pm and free to University of Rochester ID holders. These concerts are made possible by the Rippey Endowed Trust.
