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.

forWARD Neighborhood Park Concert Series - 2022 | White Oaks Park | Week #2 | Admission is FREE! | Sponsored by Mayo Clinic & The Current | Hosted by 3rd Ward City Council Person Nick Campion | Food trucks (Infuzn Foods & Taco Lab) will be on-site!
Jeff Kelly (6:00 PM) - Guitarist, singer and songwriter who’s been hailed as "combining passionate vocals with throat-punching honesty in his lyrics." -skybluewindow.org The songs are a true reflection of where he's been and where his heart continues to take him. Kelly has shared the stage with such acts as Ben Folds, Lera Lynn, Joe Pug, The Wild Reeds, Gaelic Storm, Red Wanting Blue, Christopher Paul Stelling, and Reckless Kelly.
HUMBIRD (6:30 PM) - Humbird is a Minneapolis based singer-songwriter, poet, and storyteller inspired by the crystalline chill of her home state’s northern winters. She twines experimental folk, environmental Americana, and orchestral compositions to forge an explorative embodiment of the narrative folk song and balladry tradition. A Humbird live performance is intimate and earthy, literal and metaphorical. The band nimbly prances around the lilt of Humbird’s unfaltering fervent and haunting voice - the focal point.
The City of Rochester, Rochester Civic Music, and Rochester Park & Rec present the forWARD Neighborhood Park Concert Series. Six free events in six parks, one for each ward in the City, on Wednesday evenings throughout the summer, featuring local bands opening for regional, national, or international headliners. Promoting neighborhood vitality and livability, emphasizing activities outside the downtown area. Designed to activate the City park system, and raise awareness of the City ward system and each ward’s representative on the City Council. Food trucks will be on-site for each event!
