FROM THE
PRESIDENT & EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Dear Supporters,
Here at Hochstein, every year is full of imagination, possibility, and impact. We have such gratitude toward you, our supporters, for believing in our mission and joining us as we deliver both accessible and quality arts education throughout our community.
Since joining Hochstein in July 2022, it has been incredible for me to witness a momentum building. We have experienced continuous record-breaking enrollment in individual lessons, increased demand for Expressive Arts offerings, regrown our early childhood Music FUNdamentals classes, and so much more. Expanding access to such life-giving arts instruction is at the heart of Hochstein - it is who we are and our why
Hochstein continues to nurture and grow connections in the community. Our partnership programs offer thousands of hours of free or discounted tuition, and in 2023 alone, we served more than 3,400 students who expressed a wide range of interests, passions, and personal goals. Meeting individuals where they are and fostering an environment where they will thrive is both our legacy and ongoing aspiration.
As we look ahead, achieving our ambitious goals of continued excellence, sustainability, alignment with community needs, and improvements of our historic building would not be possible without the support and collaboration of passionate people who share our vision. We are indebted to the hundreds of individuals and organizations who have invested in Hochstein.
Thank you for believing in the essence and importance of Hochstein. Our collective investment in the cultural vitality and educational advancement of individuals and families throughout the Rochester region is imperative, and we simply could not do this without you.
With warm regards,
Hilary Respass President & Executive Director
