A standing ovation for our Suzuki Strings program 👏🎻✨
This week's evening performance was more than a concert. It was a reflection of the dedication, patience, and passion poured into our scholars all year long. From the first note to the final bow, our students showcased not only their musical growth, but their confidence, discipline, and hard work on stage.
This year, the program reached incredible milestones with 114 student musicians, 34 NYSSMA auditions, and 6 Eastman Pathways Scholars with even more to come. A special thank you to the Suzuki Strings staff for the care and commitment they bring to our schools every single day, and to Michelle for the leadership and vision that has helped build something truly special for Rochester Prep scholars.
Rochester Prep is currently enrolling for the 2026–27 school year. Families interested in joining our community can enroll today at RochesterPrep.org/Enroll. 💙💛
