Donald Hunsberger
August 2, 1932 - November 5, 2023
Don Hunsberger was a giant in his field and gentleman of his time. He served as SCMR's Chairman for many years, while simultaneously enriching the Eastman School of Music as a distinguished conductor, inspiring mentor, and respected colleague.
Alongside him, Polly Hunsberger graced the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra as a cellist and touched countless lives throughout Rochester's music community through her performances and teaching.
We gratefully acknowledge a generous gift from an anonymous donor honoring the remarkable lives and contributions of both Don and Polly. This thoughtful tribute ensures their passion for chamber music and commitment to musical excellence will continue to inspire future generations of musicians and audiences in Rochester.
Though deeply missed, their legacy lives on through the music they loved and the lives they touched.
