Since 1920, Hochstein School of Music & Dance has served as Rochester's community school of the arts. Each year, an exceptional 140-member faculty teaches more than 4,000 Hochstein students.

In 1999, Holdsworth Klimowski Construction (HKC) completed a $1.1 million dollar renovation of the Hochstein Music Performance Hall, the centerpiece of the Hochstein complex residing in a historic 18th. Century church! A city location, and the need to keep the school operational during construction, were among the many challenges in this unique project that HKC successfully completed. The project included: upgrades of structural, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical systems, construction of a new stage, matching unique wood and plaster, and complete restoration of the gold leaf dome.
