Mrs. Helen Murray Fish, a lifelong resident of Rochester, was an avid supporter of cultural activities in the city.

In 1920, she was a founder and original board member of the Hochstein School of Music. The school's purpose was to provide music education for children whose parents could not afford to pay for music training. This school later became a part of the Eastman School of Music.

Her sister was Florence Murray Wallace, for whom the Wallace Library is named. Helen Fish was very well known for her helpfulness towards students.
