Hochstein Summer Activities

Our summer concert series is in full swing - hope you can join us for one of the six concerts coming up! Click on "Hochstein at High Falls" for a schedule, and see photos and video from past concerts on our YouTube and Flickr channels.
 
It's not too late to join in our summer lessons, classes, workshops, and camps.  Hochstein is alive with music and dance all day and every week of our six-week program, and  summer is a great time to try something new, keep your skills up, and have fun with others in our array of programs.  We'd love to have you with us!

International Photographer Manuel Rivera-Ortiz traveled India from Pushkar to Calcutta, Mumbai to Ahmedabad, between 2003 and 2010. The images represented in this exhibition are a comprehensive cumulative story about the people of India—their lives, culture, daily routines and poverty in this overwhelming Southeast Asian subcontinent. The black and white photographs on exhibit are a highlight of a much larger set destined for Rivera-Ortiz’s next book project entitled, Manuel Rivera-Ortiz: India, A Celebration of Life. The exhibit is scheduled to travel to Berne, Switzerland; Zurich, Switzerland; and Milano, Italy.
