Changes to Hochstein Spotlight on Faculty Concerts

There are new changes to the long-running Spotlight on Faculty Concert Series, the first of which takes place on September 22. These hour-long concerts are now scheduled at 7:00 pm on seven Thursday evenings throughout the year. There will be a nominal fee of $5 per person, $10 maximum per family.

 

Spotlight on Faculty highlights the prestigious Hochstein faculty from voice, to chamber music, to jazz and includes many themes. On Thursday, September 22, compositions from the year the school was founded, 1920, and from its namesake, David Hochstein will be heard by a trio of seasoned performers.
