Welcome
Rochester Music Hall of Fame Launches with Huge Party: Names 23 Nominees for Potential Induction into the 2010 Class!
Rochester has a rich musical heritage, and we’re letting everyone know it. We are a grassroots effort of people who love Rochester and love music.
On April 30th, we launched at The German House with a great party/fundraiser thanks to the generous donations of many muscians and sponsors.
Twenty-three nominees for potential induction into the 2010 class were announced at the launch. Ten will be selected from this group. Please see the list below and read more about why and how they were selected in our Nominees section.
The Rochester Music Hall of Fame hopes to have yearly inductions, help local musicians and teach students about Rochester’s musical heritage. We will be recognizing all musical genres and include venues, performances, patrons, composers and musicians.
Right now we are virtual, but someday we hope to find a physical home for the Rochester Music Hall of Fame.
And if you have photos or comments, please send them to us. We also need support in the form of volunteers and financial contributions. Sign up for our mailing list below.
