John Nyerges recently performed with Jeff Tyzik


Assistant Professor of Music John Nyerges recently volunteered to perform with Jeff Tyzik and selected members of the RPO in a concert to benefit G2 (Generation2), an non-profit inner-city youth tutoring program.

See the web page mentioning the concert at:  <https://www.g2isgenerationtwo.org/news.php>

The concert happened at The First Unitarian Church the night hurricane Sandy hit Rochester on Monday October 29 and yet almost 100 people still attended contributing $75 a piece to show up in support of the event. The concert raised over $7,000.

Prof. Nyerges said it is always extra special to give back to the city schools he attended growing up in Rochester. He has also visited his old elementary school, Hendrick Hudson #28, with the RPO Jazz Quintet to perform and talk to the students there.
