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.

FACEBOOK EVENT: Live from Med City: Jae Havoc from the Historic Chateau Theatre

This episode of "Live from Med City" was recorded in the historic Chateau Theatre in downtown Rochester’s “Heart of the City” district. A special audience-less performance and interview from Rochester rapper Jae Havoc. 

Jae Havoc is a convention-bending Hip-Hop artist from Rochester, Minnesota. Crazy Punk-Hop-introspective/chill-aggressive/raw-rappity rap with a bit of soul, dubstep, metal and whatever-the-hell else sounds good at the time. Complimenting a clever blend of literary and pop culture references with real world wit atop of bombastic production. Jae has also been behind mixes and instrumentals for artists like buzzworthy up-and-coming Seattle artist Brakebill and Twin Cities-based artist Sam Phoenix.

Rochester Civic Music, the City of Rochester's music department, presents "Live from Med City", the online video digest for all things arts and entertainment in Rochester, MN. The "Live from Med City" concept was conceived with the objective of spotlighting the many “live arts experiences” Rochester has to offer, featuring artists from around the block and from all over the world, and filmed in some of its finest and most unique venues. 

This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a Minnesota State Arts Board Operating Support Grant, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts & cultural heritage fund.
