We spent several days in Rochester, NY in October, visiting several colleges in the Rochester area. We were really excited to learn about the MAGIC Spell Studios at the Rochester Institute of Technology - a fully functional film sound stage and production studies. We had the opportunity to hear the fabulous musicians at the Eastman School of Music, part of the University of Rochester., rehearse in one of their historic concert halls. We also stopped at St. John Fisher College and Nazareth College, two small liberal arts campuses in the area. The leaves were turning and our hotel in quaint Pittsford, NY, along the Erie Canal, were the perfect combination for our college tour! Photos by Elizabeth Stone and Matt Donato
