Claudette Laureano Legacy Fund

Mrs. Laureano has been an incredible gift to the Breck community and to all of my children. I am happy to support this fund.

For Ben and Grace, playing in the Breck Orchestra was the culmination of years of studying violin. Through Mrs. Laureano’s guidance and passion for music, their playing grew beyond technique to true musical expression—from the head to the heart. We are deeply grateful for the opportunity she gave them to learn and perform in such an extraordinary orchestra. She has left a lasting mark on their lives as musicians. 🎻

She has taught two generations in my family!

In honor of Claudette Laureano

Claudette Laureano has been, and always will be, Vladimir’s greatest supporter and inspiration. Her rare gift for combining high expectations with deep encouragement has shaped not only his musicianship, but his character. Our son is not only a better musician, but a better person because of her. She has truly guided him to become a responsible and dedicated artist, while teaching our family patience, commitment, and how to believe in and support our child.

In honor of Max and Marcelle Kostrich

Our parents were extremely proud of you and would be so happy to see your accomplishments as a musician and teacher. I feel lucky to have had a front-row seat to watch you develop as a conductor, teacher, parent and now grandparent. I am proud of all you have accomplished in your wonderful career. Soon you will be starting a new chapter that I'm sure will prove rewarding both to you and everyone you grace with your love and talent. I look forward to being a part of it.

In honor of Max and Marcelle Kostrich

In the name of Claudette's loving parents, Max and Marcelle, I know they would have been proud beyond measure to see what a tremendous and positive influence their daughter has had on young musicians over the years she has taught. Music was important to them, and I have no doubt it settles their souls in Heaven to know what a wonderful teacher of music their daughter became. I also am very proud of her as a fellow music teacher and my life mate. It is with much love that I give this gift to acknowledge her tireless work.

Ms. Laureano is the embodiment of everything that makes our performing arts program so extraordinary through her talent, professionalism, dedication, as well as high standards and love for her students.

Mrs.Laureano has always been a model of perfection for me and my kids. She has high standards and expects her musicians to achieve as much of professionalism as possible. My children learned a lot from her not just about excellence in music but also about determination and structure. I loved coming to “StringFests “ throughout the years and every time it was enjoyable and emotional and just beautiful. Mrs. Laureano is a rare kind of person and I am so grateful my children have got to learn from her while playing and growing in her orchestra.

Thank you, Mrs. Laureano! You are the BEST! (From the Chapple family)
