Last week, the @rochesterintjazzfest wrapped up one of the world’s leading jazz festivals, bringing talent from around the world and celebrating those made here in Greater ROC. We want to celebrate one of the many performers who played those smooth sounds. Get to know #GreaterROC by getting to know Bob Sneider!

My name is Bob Sneider. I’m a transplanted Bostonian who came to Greater ROC more than two decades ago. I live in Webster with my amazing family—my wife, Aleta, a Webster teacher; and my two kids, one in high school and the other attending @eastman.school. We have two awesome rescue dogs, Harmony and Harley.
Jazz is truly in my heart, and I love to share it with the Greater ROC community. For the past 25 years, I’ve been an associate professor of jazz studies at the Eastman School of Music and senior instructor for the @eastmancommunityschool. Before joining Eastman, I toured with Rochester native and famed jazz musician Chuck Mangione for several years. I perform regularly in this region, including at @rocphils, @bopshoprecords, @thelittletheatre, @vgwinebar, @faircraftbrauhaus, @fairportcanaldays, and other venues and events. During the Rochester International Jazz Festival, I lead the late-night jam sessions (Almost two years running!), coordinate educational workshops, perform as a featured artist or sideman, and present student ensembles.
When I’m not performing, I love to explore area dining places like @redfernroc, King and I and @roamcaferoc. And when I’m in need of coffee, there’s always a quick trip to @uglyduckcoffee or @javascafe. My family and I absolutely love the @brightonfarmers and @cityofrochesterpublicmarket, and equally love and enjoy walks along the canal or through area parks like Corbett’s Glen and Mendon Ponds.
What else can I say: I absolutely love this gem of place!

#GreaterROC is home to @letchworthstatepark, the “Grand Canyon of the East” that spans more than 14,000 acres in #LivingstonCountyNY and #WyomingCountyNY and has more than 30 waterfalls!
Needless to say, there’s no shortage of waterfalls to chase and @john_schrenker_photography caught this beautiful shot of the middle falls 📸

A beautiful day to stop by and smell the roses!

We are CampusROC! A part of @greaterrochesterchamber, we’re a one-stop hub for college students and recent graduates. CampusROC seeks to engage with students in the Greater ROC region to bring them together for special events, personal and professional development, networking and social engagement. We strive for our students to fall in love and choose #GreaterROC post-graduation.
Greater Rochester is unique in having 19 colleges and universities in the region and over 80,000 undergraduate and graduate students. How lucky are we to develop such incredible talent in our region? And we’re even luckier when they choose to stay!
Since launching in late 2020, we’ve hosted social and career-related events on several college campuses and at downtown locations, including @innovationsqroc, @sibleysquare, @roccommissary, @flowercityarts and @rocholidayvillage. In just the last year, we’ve been fortunate enough to provide students with the experience of ice skating at MLK Park, baking Thanksgiving pies with @biscottibrewers, dining in at @merconmain and spending an entire weekend in the heart of downtown at our annual CollegeFEST.
Our success and continuing growth would not be possible without our incredible campus partners, engaged employers, the Greater Rochester Chamber of Commerce and @roc_2025. We are so proud and lucky to have so many organizations invested in growing, retaining and connecting our wonderful talent right here in Rochester.
