Honoring Trustee Rhonda G. Kost and Alfred Z. Spector and Faculty Member Glen Kirchoff

On Sunday, May 5, 2023, students, faculty, staff, accompanists, families, and volunteers will come together at our annual Spring Benefit to honor Trustee Rhonda G. Kost and Alfred Z. Spector and Faculty Member Glen Kirchoff for their decades of service and leadership and their innumerable contributions to the School.

The evening’s highlights include performances by world-renowned violinist and HB parent Leila Josefowicz, sharing the stage with members of our Suzuki Violin ensemble, chamber and jazz ensembles, presentations to honorees; and a wonderfully delicious and fun dessert reception.

The Spring Benefit is the School’s largest fundraiser of the year and plays a crucial role in sustaining the excellence of our programs. Funds raised not only support the quality of our offerings but also contribute to making these programs increasingly accessible to members of our diverse community.
