Using more than one hundred Eastman students, the Con- cert Office provided over twenty Rochester homes with small chamber ensembles. A large birthday cake was donated by the University of Roches- ter at each home. Either a meal or a buffet with just snacks followed the performance depending on the house as the students had an opportunity to honestly answer questions on the state of the school. 7 Y F ,z nz' gf I Q fs 'IS f
