About Rochester Public Music
Rochester Public Music brings people together through concerts, cultural programs, and music education. Our events are free and public by design.
We turn parks into concert venues, bring artists into classrooms, and share music across neighborhoods. Our work is rooted in shared experience, local connection, and the belief that music belongs to everyone.
Music with Purpose.
Rochester Public Music is a department of the City of Rochester.
Our Programs
- FORWARD Park Concerts: Free summer concerts in Rochester parks. Local bands, local food, and space for everyone to gather.
- Riverside Music Series: Live music. Big names. No tickets. Large-scale concerts featuring chart-topping acts and rising stars.
- Sound School: In-school residencies where students explore rhythm, movement, and musical identity — from hip hop and taiko drumming to close-harmony singing.
- Passport Sessions: Free outdoor concerts during Thursdays Downtown, celebrating culture and connection through sound.

With so many of our traditional community events being canceled for the summer of 2020, a collaborative group has decided to offer an all-inclusive City Celebration that maintains social distancing and follows the Minnesota Department of Health Guidelines. The Rochester Community Celebration will take place August 20th – 23rd, 2020. It is an event created to include all and give back a positive event to our greater Rochester community. It is the mission of the collaborative group to improve and promote community relationships through this event
