The Hochstein School (formerly Hochstein School of Music & Dance) is an all ages school of music and dance in Rochester, New York[1] The school was founded in 1920.
The school was originally opened in the Hochstein's family home on Joseph Avenue for 250 students. By 1928, the school had begun to outgrow this facility. Funds are raised by interested citizens for a new site to be constructed on 12 Hoeltzer Street. The school remained here until 1975, when in need of more space, it is moved to the former Central Presbyterian Church on Plymouth Avenue. In 1978, the building was purchased for $1, "considered to be an appropriate fee in light of the long tradition of the importance of music in that house of worship."[2]
Hochstein's Performance Hall is the former sanctuary of the Central Presbyterian Church and has been fully renovated as a theater.[3] It hosts student performances as well as concerts from outside groups. Once a week, live concerts are broadcast from the Performance Hall as part of WXXO's "Live from Hochstein" concert series.[4]
