C O N N E C T I O N S the UNIVERSITY of ROCHESTER and the COMMUNITY C o n n e c t i o n s THE UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER AND THE COMMUNITY C o n n e c t i o n s THE UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER AND THE COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS Throughout its 157-year history, the University of Rochester has been committed to the greater Rochester community. We are proud to be an urban university; proud to be a major health care provider in this region; proud that our students, faculty, alumni, and staff are deeply involved in community service; proud of the role we perform as employers, consumers, and neighbors in a community and region we dearly love. We have become the largest employer in our immediate geographic area and the generator of an increasing number of new businesses. This publication is testament to the many vital connections between the University of Rochester and the greater Rochester community. It bears witness to our role as an educator, a health care provider, a leader in the arts and culture, an active force in economic development, and a good citizen. We serve our community best by striving to be the most outstanding university we can be. That is why universities are magnets for the economic progress that is the key to our in- creasingly knowledge-based society. But it is worth highlighting that our ties to Rochester are vital and inextricable, and these ties are growing. In this publication we celebrate these ties: the University, the Rochester community, and our accelerating progress together. Joel Seligman, President, University of Rochester 3 UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER Dear Friend of the University of Rochester: Monroe County is proud to be home to the University of Roch- ester. The unique character and accomplishments of this world- class institution and its faculty, staff, alumni, and students are a great source of pride for our community. The University of Rochester is Monroe County’s largest em- ployer and has a significant impact on our economic vitality and quality of life. It has been a catalyst for start-up enterprises and job creation, cutting-edge research and development, and the growth of high-tech, biotech, and optics companies. The University of Rochester is also the area’s largest health care provider, offering high-quality services to individuals and families throughout our region and across the country. Monroe County is pleased to partner with the University on the Center for Community Health. Through the renowned Eastman School of Music, Eastman Theatre, and Memorial Art Gallery, the University is bolstering our community’s image as a premier center for arts and culture. I was thrilled to have President Joel Seligman participate in my College Presidents Summit. Our colleges and universities need to be actively involved in defining the vision and priorities for our region as we move forward. I thank President Seligman for his leadership, enthusiasm, and commitment. I look forward to strengthening our partnership as we con- tinue to build a great future for Monroe County. Sincerely, Maggie Brooks Monroe County Executive 4 CONNECTIONS In every sense of the word, the University of Rochester has truly come off their campus and into our community. As Rochester’s number one employer, the University is a genuine economic force, and President Seligman is an outstanding ambassador. The University of Rochester and the City of Rochester are linked both geographically and philosophically, sharing the common ideals of education and economic development. The University has helped to define modern-day health care in this country, and our city is the beneficiary of the University’s immense health care resources. In fact, Rochester was recently voted number six by the Places Rated Almanac as the best place to live in the United States. There is no doubt that the University’s presence in our community has contributed to that ranking. The Brooks Landing project, the proposed College Town, and a planned research facility are just a few examples of how the University is helping to reshape Rochester. Joel Seligman and I use every opportunity to look for ways to build on our successes. I am anxiously looking forward to seeing both the University and our great city blossom into even greater synergy. The University of Rochester student body represents the type of resident that we want to retain in Rochester—bright, commit- ted, and on the road to success. From education to health care, from prenatal to nursing home care, from jobs to housing, the University of Rochester and the City of Rochester are reaping the benefits of our strong relationship, interdependency, and collaborative spirit. I would like to thank University of Rochester President Joel Seligman and the entire faculty, staff, alumni, and student body for their commitment to Rochester. 5 UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER For the past two decades, the mer school open to anyone Warner School of Education with an undergraduate de- Education has collaborated with local gree.

Artist VIP presale is June 9 at 11 a.m., and venue presale is June 10th at 10 a.m. Tickets go on sale to the public Friday, June 11 at noon at the Miller High Life Theatre box office or Ticketmaster. When King Crimson returns to action this July, it will be the seventh year that the band has toured since returning to performing live in 2014, a run only interrupted by the lockdown in 2020. In that time, the audience has been reinvented, as much as the band itself, something Robert Fripp noted after the band’s performance in Pompeii, Italy’s famous amphitheater: “In Pompeii, a large percentage of the audience was young couples; KC moved into the mainstream in Italy. I walked onstage knowing that this band's position in the world has changed level.” - Robert Fripp The band’s shows regularly include material from twelve of their thirteen studio albums, including many songs from their seminal 1969 album In the Court of the Crimson King, described by Pete Townshend as an “uncanny masterpiece.” The 7-piece line-up play many historic pieces, which Crimson has never previously played live, as well as new arrangements of Crimson classics – “the music is new whenever it was written.” There are also new instrumentals and songs, as well as compositions by the three drummers, Pat Mastelotto, Gavin Harrison and Jeremy Stacey, which are a regular highlight.

What many once knew as the Swan Street parking lot was a small triangular parcel of land—the last piece of real estate George needed to complete his school and theater, at least as he had originally imagined it back in 1922. But the price the owner demanded was in George’s mind too high, and so the theater project went ahead without that property.

Located on Catskill Mountain Foundation’s grounds and Performance Center (Red Barn) on Route 23A (Main Street) in the Village of Hunter, the Festival runs 10am-6pm each day. Admission is $8/Adult, $1/Child. Founded in 1999, the Catskill Mountain Foundation has established itself as a premier cultural organization, presenting work and performances by outstanding regional and international artists. Last year, the Festival attracted more than 5,500 people. This year’s Festival promises to attract an even larger audience with a program designed to entertain, educate, and enlighten festival-goers. This year’s musical program features two headline acts—bluesman Guy Davis on Saturday and The Roches on Sunday. Guy Davis is an artist who defies the rural blues myth. He views the blues as good-time music, the original forum for dancing above one’s troubles, sorrow turned to exquisite joy. But even though he was born and bred in middle-class New York suburbs, he’s 100 percent pure blues. The roots of his blues are as diverse as blues itself.
