The first film-music festival in North America
The birthplace of motion picture film and one of the world’s most renowned music schools will host the Soundtrax Film Music Festival.
Join us in Rochester, NY for the inaugural festival, presented by Eastman School of Music at the University of Rochester. Through concerts, conversations, and special events, Soundtrax explores how the artistry, science, and technology of music and sound elevate storytelling, the audience journey, and our visual experiences.
Soundtrax events will be held in the Eastman School of Music’s performance spaces, including the historic 2,300-seat Kodak Hall at Eastman Theatre, plus venues throughout the city of Rochester.
“Rochester has the perfect combination of cultural significance and technological innovation to host a unique experience like Soundtrax. This event presents a fun and fascinating way to explore how the artistry, science, and technology of sound and music shape visual media.”
