The Eastman School of Music (of the University of Rochester) has created the Eastman Connects virtual concert series to bring their community together during this challenging time.
Two of their larger multi-media projects include an Eastman Ensemble performance, as well as a large undertaking from the Eastman Opera Theatre.
Make Your Garden Grow: Eastman Opera Theatre is a massive addition to Eastman Connects that features a total of 47 students and 10 faculty/staff from Eastman Opera Theatre, coming together virtually from their individual homes to bring you a performance of the ending number from Candide – “Make Your Garden Grow.”
