Brockport’s 2025 Winter Serenades music series begins on Sunday February 2 at 3:00 at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, Main and State Streets. There is no charge and tickets are not required, thanks to the generosity of many local music lovers. Audiences are invited to attend a “Meet the Artists” reception afterward in the social hall.

The February 2 opening performance features two stellar violinists from the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, Jeanelle Thompson and Angelina Phillips. The afternoon promises to be both entertaining and informative. Angelina holds the position of Associate Concertmaster in the RPO. In addition to performing, she enjoys fiddling, attending concerts and trying new foods in the Rochester area. Jeanelle, the Principal Second Violinist, made her solo debut with the Phoenix Symphony at the age of 16.

A diverse program of music spanning centuries and genres will include something for everyone. They say that “the versatility and brilliance of the violin will be on display through a wide variety of repertoire, from classical and opera arrangements to bluegrass and everything in between, including some surprises”.

The second Winter Serenades event, February 16, marks the return of Michael Lasser, the popular author and award winning Fascinatin’ Rhythm radio host. Alan Jones and Connie Fredericks-Malone sing the music that he talks about from the Great American Songbook. Singing along will be tempting but not encouraged. It’s rumored that this may be Lasser’s last public performance – fans shouldn’t miss it.

Appropriate for all ages, the Serenades will also be available for home viewing during the performances and later. See www.stlukesbrockport.org for a streaming link.
