This ensures Eastman continues to be the place where the best musicians come together to make each other better.

Hire and retain exceptional faculty members.

Eastman sets the bar for teaching excellence, scholarship, and artistry. Creating endowed professorships allows the school to recruit and hire faculty who attract truly special students.
