Eastman Performing Arts Medicine Center (EPAM) has offered live music in lobby spaces at URMC since 2019. During the week, visitors, staff, and patients can find artists playing in the main lobby and in the coffee shop location between the green and red elevators on the first floor. All artists are trained by the EPAM program to choose music that is appropriate to the environment, and all are professional artists.

December 2025 artists will include Atsuo Chiu, piano; Katrya Cichanowicz, cello; Ken Luk, guitar; Kenneth Kam, guitar; Sean Mulligan, viola; Bob Pizzutiello, chapman stick., Katherine Marx, flute. To learn more about Eastman Performing Arts Medicine Center, please visit their website. 

These events are created in collaboration with the Office of the Patient Experience and the Friends of Strong Foundation.
