The Hochstein School of Music

Live from Hochstein is presented in one of the city’s most historic buildings, the Central Presbyterian Church on North Plymouth Avenue, which is the site of a former Underground Railroad station. Built in 1858, it was the site of the funerals of civil rights crusader Frederick Douglas in 1895 and women’s right’s activist Susan B. Anthony in 1906.

Although Central Presbyterian disbanded in 1974, the building was preserved as a historic site and became the home of the music school for community music school established in 1920 by Emily Sibley Watson and George Eastman.
