Welcome to the IH Arts Conservatory Weekly Newsletter!


This week’s episode of The Director’s Chair is nothing short of joyful! I had the absolute pleasure of catching up with three fantastic fourth-grade choir students — Isabel Jacobs, Carly Coker, and AJ Reherman. Their energy is contagious, their love for music shines through every word, and they had me laughing and smiling the entire time!

We talked about everything: their favorite pieces, what they’re learning in choir, the magic of singing together, and the excitement building for their upcoming concert on Thursday, December 11 at 6:00 pm in the IHES Gymatorium. These young artists are talented, thoughtful, and full of heart, and I can’t wait for our community to see them take the stage!!

I hope you enjoy hearing their stories as much as I did — their enthusiasm is truly inspiring. Enjoy this week’s episode!

Introducing The Red Letter Delivery

I am thrilled to share a brand-new arts experience designed to celebrate and elevate the creativity of our student artists: The Red Letter Delivery. Beginning this January, we are launching a monthly subscription service that brings the beauty of Indian Hill student artwork directly to your mailbox—delivered in our signature red envelope—for just $8 per month.


Each month’s delivery features a professionally printed 5x7 piece of original student art, accompanied by a personal message from the artist sharing the inspiration behind their work. It’s a heartfelt blend of creativity and storytelling that invites you into the imagination of our students in a truly meaningful way.

All proceeds from The Red Letter Delivery will be reinvested into the Indian Hill Arts Conservatory, supporting our mission to nurture young creatives and expand arts opportunities for students across our district. This project is generously sponsored by the Indian Hill Foundation.


Our debut edition evokes a sense of Home for the Holidays, featuring a stunning portrayal of the Cincinnati skyline through the eyes of IHHS student artist Norah Condorodis. Her piece captures warmth, nostalgia, and family history—an especially poignant tribute inspired by her grandfather and great uncle, whose stories are woven into the spirit of the city.

As I shared in the announcement, “This is more than an art subscription—it’s a tangible connection to our students’ imagination and heart. Each red envelope is a moment of surprise and delight, and the artwork inside makes a truly special gift for someone who loves both mail and art.”



Subscriptions to The Red Letter Delivery are open now, and the first shipment will arrive in January 2026. Subscriptions can also be purchased as gifts and mailed anywhere—making it a unique, meaningful present for the art-lovers in your life.

I hope you’ll join us in celebrating this beautiful new way to support and experience the arts at Indian Hill.
