 ANNUAL FUND The arts exercise the imagination, and there is no more important investment we can make for the future than in our children's dreams. - Joan Behrens Bergman, Executive Director Generous annual support from alumni, parents, and friends allows Hoff-Barthelson to offer music education programs of superb quality, present exciting free master classes with world-renowned guest artists, and provide financial aid to those who would otherwise be deprived of music studies.Tuition alone could never cover the actual cost of providing a comprehensive music education for each student.
