History
David Hochstein was a world-renowned violinist from Rochester. When he was killed in World War I's Battle of Argonne in October 1918, elites such as George Eastman and Emily Sibley Watson joined with other citizens of Rochester in forming the "David Hochstein Music School Settlement". The school was chartered by the State of New York in 1920.
In 1976, Hochstein became accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music.
In 1978, Hochstein moved to its current location, the former Central Presbyterian Church. 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]
