New Horizons is a program that provides musical experiences for adults that is open to beginning and experienced musicians of all levels. There are no auditions. Members enjoy rehearsing, playing, singing and performing with others in bands, small ensembles, orchestras or chorus. Playing music with others is the goal of New Horizons but also important is having fun and socializing with people who enjoy making music. (more)
Each of the 13 New Horizons ensembles has a spring concert, usually in the second half of May. Below is information on one of them. Information on the others will be coming soon.
The website occasionally takes an in-depth look at one of the 13 ensembles that make up the New Horizons program. Click on Ensembles in the menu bar above for more information about all our ensembles.

The Eastman Rochester New Horizon clarinet choir has been in existence for many years with a long history of local and national accomplishments. Lead by conductors Alan Woy, Ken Scott, Lori Cyr and several others, this ensemble was invited to perform at five International Clarinet Association ( ICA) conventions in Austin, Baton Rouge, Orlando, Knoxville, and Denver in 2023.
The group annually performs at the Fairport Canal Days and at assisted living centers throughout the year. This link shows our last performance at Kilbourn Hall. We rehearse every Monday 9-11 at Brickstone Senior center. Our website has more info: nhclarinetensemble.org.
