Funds raised will ensure that Hoff-Barthelson can continue to provide comprehensive music education of the highest caliber, offer generous financial aid, and deliver dynamic programs for our community.

HBMS is proud to honor Trustee Warren Haber for his exceptional dedication, leadership, and invaluable contributions to our School and community. Warren's leadership as a long-time member of the Board of Trustees has profoundly enriched HBMS, leaving a lasting impact on our students, faculty, and programs. His generosity and passion continue to inspire us all.

Recipient of the 2022 Avery Fisher Career Grant, 30-year-old American pianist Mackenzie Melemed has emerged as one of the most distinctive musical voices of his generation, admired for his nuanced interpretations, technical finesse, and deep artistic sensibility. Hailed as “an excellent young pianist” by the New York Times, Melemed enjoyed an abundance of early stage experience, with over 500 performances to his name by age 13, undoubtedly one of the most seasoned pianists among his peers. Whether in recital, chamber music, or orchestral settings, his performances are marked by a desire to communicate, to reveal, and to connect—with the score, with fellow musicians, and most of all, with the audience. In anticipation of the United States’ 250th anniversary, he is currently planning what may well be the largest recital tour of American piano music in recent history, Keys Across America — a project rooted in both personal and artistic conviction.
