Seniorsfirst Musicfest


"Add another event to the list of Rochester's successful summertime music festivals", said the Democrat & Chronicle in its front page local newspaper article highlighting the Seniorsfirst Musicfest.

The Seniorsfirst Musicfest at Valley Manor is a three-day public event featuring Opera and a harpist on day 1, the Gateswingers Big Band on day 2 and the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra on day 3.

Over 1500 attendees enjoyed the diversity of music, food and fun over the three days. Despite the threat of or intermittent rain, all 3 shows dodged the storms and the crowds came out to enjoy the event.

My vision for the musicfest is to become the premier venue for music for seniors. Rochester is known for its music festivals, but only the Seniorsfirst Musicfest is truly senior-friendly and aimed to meet the musical tastes of seniors.

In addition to showcasing our Valley Manor Apartments Community, the Musicfest also provided priceless public relations for all our Seniorsfirst Communities & Services. We also held a special VIP Donor luncheon in conjunction with the RPO Musicfest day to thank and recognize key supporters of our Kirkhaven Replacement "Pathways" project.

All in all it was a very busy, yet very successful 8th annual Musicfest. An event of this magnitude is only successful because of the dedicated and hard working team of staff who collectively do all the many tasks that go into producing an event of this magnitude.

Bravo to all and thanks to our many sponsors and attendees for supporting Seniorsfirst.
