Rhythm and Renovations:
Plans to Make Music and Transform Lives with New State-of-the-Art
Auditorium, Underground Large Ensemble Space and More
A rendering of the AUDITORIUM (above) shows it
transformed into a contemporary venue with movable
seating for multiple configurations, higher ceilings and
acoustic paneling. New backstage areas and sound proofing,
among other features, round out the plans. An underground,
spacious ENSEMBLE ROOM (right) with natural lighting will
double the school’s capacity for performance, enable large
ensembles to rehearse comfortably, serve as a fullyequipped recording studio, and more.

his October, Third Street unveiled
major capital improvement plans with
presentations to its faculty and staff
as well as to students, families, friends
and community stakeholders. The project
will transform the school’s Anna-Maria
Kellen Auditorium into a modern, stateof-the-art recital hall worthy of the artistic
excellence of Third Street’s students,
esteemed faculty and renowned guest
artists who perform there year-round.
The school’s former boiler room, in a
sub-­basement with windows that let in
natural light, will be transformed into a
large ensemble rehearsal room and recital
space that can also be used for dance, a
variety of early childhood programs, meetings
and other school gatherings. These plans also
include expansion of and safety improvements
to the lobby, reconfiguration of offices to
streamline customer service access, and
creation of a glass-enclosed stairway and a
fully passenger-operated elevator to improve
vertical access to all floors.
These renovations are vital to the school’s
future, enabling Third Street to expand and
deepen programs, serve more students and
amplify Third Street’s role in the cultural life
of New York City. Chairman Vince Perro

A NOTE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
2
I
am so pleased to join the extraordinary
team at Third Street Music School
Settlement. It is an honor to have
the opportunity to build upon this
institution’s impressive history of enriching
lives through music education.
It has been a pleasure to get to know the
board, staff, faculty, families and friends as we
proudly celebrate our 120th anniversary year. I
have been here six months now, and I am
already so impressed with what I see and hear.
Our home is brimming with activity at all hours and our students of all
ages are achieving new heights every day.
As we work with our musicians and dancers to meet them at
their level of aspiration and experience, we fulfill our mission and our
commitment to the community. I greatly enjoy watching the students
in rehearsal, recital and during music hours as they strive to meet
their goals.
As a lifelong New Yorker, a longtime advocate for young people and
the arts, and a parent of aspiring musicians, I understand the critical
need to ensure that music education is accessible to those who seek
its enrichment. And I am here to ensure that this tradition continues
at Third Street.
As we celebrate our benchmark year, we are working together to
deepen and advance our programs—from early learning to ensembles
and performance opportunities to professional development.
Moreover, we want to strengthen the “Third Street Experience” for all
involved. I keep hearing that Third Street feels like “home” and “like a
family,” and we want to build on that tradition.
This is an exciting time for Third Street, as we are enjoying and
planning dozens of events to mark our anniversary. In December, 120
choristers will carol through the neighborhood. We will be partnering
with Big Onion Walking Tours on walking tours that explore Third
Street’s rich musical and cultural heritage. We are collaborating with
the New York City Department of Education to offer professional
development to new early childhood classroom teachers, an initiative
that will have an impact on thousands of young children citywide.
Finally, we are embarking on a renovation project that will leverage
our home on East 11th Street and make it more beautiful, accessible
and functional. Construction will take place over the next two summers,
beginning with the auditorium and a new ensemble room in the
school’s former boiler room. This project will give our students and
faculty even more space in which to rehearse and perform, as well as
a professional recording studio.
Again, I am so pleased and honored to be here, and I look forward
to working with the entire community at this pivotal and exciting time
in Third Street’s history.

arlier this year, The New York
Community Trust awarded Third
Street the opportunity to administer
the first-ever Harris Scholarship
Program for Third Street’s students. This
groundbreaking program awards fouryear $20,000 college scholarships to
students at Third Street who
demonstrate musical and academic
achievement. In its 2014 pilot year, two
scholarships were awarded by Third
Street; in 2015, the School will select
three students to receive this honor.
“The New York Community Trust is
proud to work with Third Street Music
School to launch the Harris Scholarship,”
said Kerry McCarthy, Program Officer at
The Trust. “The scholarships recognize
musical achievement, academic
performance and community
engagement.”
The scholarship program is named
for Charlotte Daniels Harris, a former
New York City public school teacher who
believed in the power of music to change
lives. The Charlotte Daniels Harris
Memorial Fund was established at
The Trust to create a living legacy for
the benefit of New York City public high
school students who study music and
need financial support in order to pursue a college education.
Orion Doscher and Brendan Gittens,
now in their freshman year at college,
were awarded the first Harris Scholarships
in May of this year. Each will receive
$5,000 per year to attend New York
University and the State University of
New York at Fredonia, respectively.
“Words cannot begin to express my
gratitude,” said Doscher. “I am honored to
be one of the first students selected to
receive this privilege, and I look forward
to furthering my education at NYU.”
“[Music] has inspired a dream,” said
Gittens. “The New York Community

look forward to leveraging the Program to
amplify the focus on music education already
underway at Third Street.
“Here at Third Street, we help each student
reach his or her potential as a musician or
dancer,” notes Nancy Morgan, Deputy
Executive Director. “Their artistic journeys
can begin early in life and continue
through high school and into adulthood.”
Reflecting on the importance of the
Harris Scholarship Program, Ms. Morgan
continues, “We are delighted to have this
opportunity to help students successrully
transition from high school to college,
to mentor them through college, and
to provide financial support to their

hen his baton rises, internationally-recognized
conductor Brandon Keith Brown commands the
attention of all—from classrooms to symphony halls.
Now his expert direction comes to Third Street as
Mr. Brown begins his appointment this fall as the school’s new
Music Director and Conductor of the Philharmonia Orchestra.
After an extensive global search and review of many
prestigious international applicants, Third Street is thrilled
that Mr. Brown is joining the School’s faculty and warmly
welcomes him to the community.
His exceptional talents as a conductor have garnered
Mr. Brown much attention in the world’s music communities.
As a laureate of the 2012 Sir Georg Solti International Conductors’
Competition, Mr. Brown most recently worked in Germany
alongside acclaimed conductor, Kurt Masur, who also selected
Mr. Brown as the 2014 Mendelssohn Scholarship winner.
Mr. Brown is known for his inspired performances, precise
musical interpretations, depth of musicianship, imaginative
programming and passion for developing new audiences, all
of which he is excited to bring into play in advancing Third
Street’s Philharmonia Orchestra.
“It is truly a great honor for me to be appointed to the
faculty at Third Street,” says Mr. Brown. “I am really looking
forward to working with the region’s best and brightest
young musicians, and working alongside the administration,
faculty and parents to present a significant
orchestral experience.”
In addition to his role at Third
Street, Mr. Brown will continue to
guest conduct professional
orchestras in the U.S. and
around the world. Considering
the Philharmonia Orchestra’s
rich history and musical
accomplishments,
Mr. Brown’s appointment
brings with it a heightened
sense of possibility for both
the orchestra and the school.

It’s a Big Deal:
T
he year 2014 marks 120 years of Third Street Music School
Settlement’s service to the New York community, helping to
shape the landscape of arts education nationally since 1894.
Throughout the 2014-15 school year, Third Street will host a
series of 120th Anniversary celebrations to embrace its future,
which resonates with its musical heritage, acclaimed programs,
artistry and community spirit.
Third Street Music School Settlement helped to establish
community arts education in the United States, which changes the
lives of young people, their families and neighborhoods through
affordable access to high quality arts instruction. Third Street has
a long history of proud accomplishments, acting as an early feeder
for elite orchestras like the New York Philharmonic, pioneering the
introduction of high-quality music instruction in public schools,
recognizing the importance of dance in a well-rounded music
education, and making performance the centerpiece of comprehensive
training with its acclaimed ensembles. More recently, Third Street
created its Center for Music Theory & Composition and has
deepened programs for early childhood and adult learning.
“We are proud of our history and heritage,” says Valerie Lewis,
Third Street’s Executive Director. “Third Street is a living legend in
New York City and a national treasure with 120 years of service,
artistry and joy woven into the fabric of our community. We are so
pleased to deepen our commitment to music educaction through
the Big Deal.”

uring the past three decades, students
of P.S. 19—a longtime partner school
in closest proximity to Third Street—
have benefited from the music
instruction offered through Third Street
Partners (formerly known as the MILES
program). Knowing that partnerships are
the foundation for building strong
communities, Third Street has developed
sustainable relationships with city schools
like P.S. 19, working collaboratively with
principals and teachers to ensure that arts
education remains a vital part of the school
curriculum and that students in high-need
areas derive the full benefits that music
and dance can bring to their lives.
Named after one of the first Jewish
settlers of Dutch New Amsterdam, P.S. 19
(The Asher Levy School) uses a workshop
model for its literacy and math studies,
allowing each student to participate actively
in his or her own learning. This interactive
approach extends beyond core curriculum to
its partnership programs, which—in addition
to its Third Street Partners collaboration—
also includes a PENCIL business partnership
and a Studio-in-a-School program for visual arts.
During the 2013-14 school year, a
15-week partnership was spearheaded by
Third Street faculty member Irene Koloseus,
a specialist in early childhood instruction,
dance and percussion. In just a few weeks,
students involved in the partnership program
participated in a performance that included
a Japanese flower hat dance and a Guinean
fisherman’s dance, featuring costumes
provided by Ms. Koloseus for the performance.
“The classes at P.S. 19 are mixed-inclusion
classes, which welcome students with special
needs,” says Ms. Koloseus. “Although some
students are very shy in the beginning, it is
gratifying for me to see them transform and
participate at the final concert,” she notes,
adding, “Their faces light up, and that, for
me, is a highlight. In seeing the expressions
of classroom teachers and their reactions
to their students’ growth, we understand
even more the accomplishment of this
partnership, and what it means to help
students discover and expand their potential.”
Celebrating 120 Years of Making
Music and Transforming Lives
Third Street began the school year singing happy birthday, giving
out cupcakes, and offering students, young and old, temporary “3”
logo tattoos. One student even used all his weekly allowance to
buy Third Street a birthday cake to contribute to this week-long
celebration in September, and it made front-page news in our local
newspaper. As its gift to the city, Third Street also launched in
September its Big Deal campaign, which is giving New York City
public high school and city college students who have never-before
enrolled at Third Street the unparalleled opportunity to audition
into one of the School’s acclaimed performance ensembles for an
annual fee of only $120, which is 80% off regular tuition rates, and
those with demonstrated financial need can participate for free.
The Big Deal campaign aims to get back to Third Street’s
settlement roots by ensuring access to a community arts education
of the highest quality for any of the city’s youth to gain knowledge
and skills as musicians, foster personal development, and
enhance the quality of their lives.
“Third Street is a thriving artistic community,” says Brandon
Keith Brown, newly appointed music director and conductor of Third
Street’s Philharmonia Orchestra, “and performance ensembles enable
students to broaden their studies, share in their joy of music, form
lifelong friendships, learn to communicate to audiences through
public performances, and work alongside the school’s extraordinary faculty and world-renowned guest artists.”
How else is Third Street making a big deal out of its 120th
anniversary? It held a Community Open House in September.
Fall 14 Beat.indd 5
Bolstered by support from P.S. 19
parents, last year’s successful partnership
is expanding in the 2014-15 academic year.
The partnership, which was previously 15
weeks, has grown to 25 weeks, covering a
majority of the school year. The original
two classes per week have increased to 14,
and now include pre-k, kindergarten, first,
second and third through fifth grades.
Under the newly-extended partnership,
high-quality music instruction is available
to any interested child at P.S. 19.
“I’m excited to return to our P.S. 19
partnership,” says Ms. Koloseus. “The
expanded program allows us to build the
kids’ musical foundations. We can ease
last year’s hectic schedule and encourage
more opportunities in a creative learning
experience.”

In December, there will be 120+ chorus students and friends caroling throughout the neighborhood, a performance of Pachelbel’s
Canon by 120 students and faculty employing every piano in the
school, as well as Third Street’s annual Holiday Concert at NYU
Skirball Center. This spring there will be historic walking tours to captivate our imaginations of what life was like back in the early
days of Third Street. And still to come is the 120th Anniversary Gala, in
Spring 2015, which will mark the culmination of the year’s festivities
celebrating the history and achievements of Third Street.
Third Street is sprouting great ideas rooted in community
engagement, as well as showcasing and advancing music as part
of the total educational experience. “For twelve decades, Third
Street has inspired and educated young
musicians, dancers and artists,” says Ms. Lewis.
“We look forward to bringing the arts to life in our
community now and for many
years to come.”
Happy
Birthday,
Third Street!

vision we established several years ago. The
Board is committed to addressing Third
Street’s space needs to better serve our
students, and we’re very excited to break
ground on this important project.” This
$5.3 million project will take two years to
complete. Third Street begins construction
in summer 2015 and expects to complete
this work before the end of 2016. With
extraordinary leadership support from the
Anna-Maria and Stephen Kellen Foundation,
commitments from the Board of Directors
and alumni bequests, more than 80% of
the funds needed have already been
identified. The public phase of
Third Street’s Rhythm and Renovations
Campaign begins with the goal of raising
the remaining 20% within the next two
years. Executive Director Valerie Lewis
says, “This campaign is off to an excellent
start, and we are so grateful for this level
of support from the Kellen Foundation
and our Board of Directors. We’re making
an incredible investment that will
leverage our current home and vastly
increase and improve our rehearsal and
performance space for our students and
community.”
This illustration shows the school’s NEW ENTRANCE. Inside, a bigger, brighter lobby
provides more gathering space with a newly positioned and fully-equipped guard’s station
to monitor the doors. Office renovations and a new reception desk will improve customer
service, and a modernized passenger-operated elevator and a new glass-enclosed stairway
will create more vertical access routes to classrooms, studios and events. Glass paneling
and a new exterior wall for banners will show the vibrant life of the school to passersby.

In the Spotlight

Always seeking to lead his students beyond their
comfort level, Mr. Rochen’s vision is to build abilities
and confidence, while also inspiring students to enjoy
the music-making process. For him, the learning
experience must be rich in substance while also leaving
the student wanting more. That balance characterizes
Mr. Rochen’s approach, and suits Third Street perfectly.
While he has a long list of artistic accomplishments,
Mr. Rochen is most enthusiastic about the student
progress he has witnessed during his career. He explains:
“Watching my students perform with Maxim Vengerov
or Joshua Bell, or having Kurt Masur guest-conduct the
orchestra… those are strong memories. It’s the excitement
of watching our students, time and time again, rise to
meet each challenge placed in front of them, tackling
them with skill, creativity and enthusiasm. It is truly
remarkable.” And so is Steve Rochen.
or 20 years, Steve Rochen’s leadership has been the
backbone of Third Street’s orchestral programs, and
his influence is noticeable throughout the school.
His commitment to excellence as a conductor,
director and educator has shaped Third Street’s
methodology, helping hundreds of students discover
and achieve their goals as musicians year after year.
“I truly appreciate the versatility of Third Street and
its students,” explains Mr. Rochen. “Whether a student
has aspirations for a professional career or something
more casual, this really is a place for everyone—and a
place where everyone will succeed.”
As remarkable as his meticulous instruction are the
lasting impressions Mr. Rochen has made on each of
his students. His unique gift is his ability to reach any
student, corral his or her specific abilities, goals and
personality, and lift that student to extraordinary
heights as both a musician and individual. While each
year students grow and change, Mr. Rochen is sure
to point out that, “our kids are always inquisitive,
interested and motivated!”
The fundamentals of Steve’s teaching have remained
the same over two decades: giving emphasis to the
texture of music, where students learn to communicate
with each other through different parts; looking for
opportunities to arrange music that is both appealing
and challenging; and stretching each student’s ability
as a performer.
