All are members, and Anna is principal violinist, of the Cleveland Orchestra Youth Orchestra at Severance Hall. In 2007 the Hoopes were invited the Governor and First Lady of Ohio to perform at the Governor's Mansion in Columbus. In December 2007 they performed on "From The Top", a nationally broadcast program.

Anna, Alexandra and Chad have each won various state and local music competitions, have received individual solo recital invitations, and have appeared as a soloist and performed with several orchestras.
