Three Pittsford high school students were recently honored at the David Hochstein Memorial Recital Competition, a prestigious event that celebrates outstanding musical talent and achievement.

The competition is open to advanced instrumentalists in grades 10–12 from a nine-county region surrounding Rochester. To qualify, students must prepare and perform challenging repertoire in a variety of styles before a jury of distinguished professional musicians. Winners receive a $500 award and are invited to perform in a spring recital at Hochstein, which will be recorded for later broadcast on WXXI Classical FM, 91.5.
