Eastman School of Music

  • Twenty-three talented musicians were awarded George Eastman Circle Scholarships, and hundreds more received financial support through annual fund contributions. These scholarships allow Eastman to remain competitive by attracting the most gifted, dedicated, and diverse students possible.
  • In the spring of 2024, Eastman Community Music School launched a pilot of the ENCORE Chorus, an intergenerational chorus serving people living with early- to middle-stage Alzheimer’s disease and their care partners. Music has been shown to strengthen memory and create new neural pathways. The program is broken into sessions by season, and after successful spring and summer sessions, volunteers are eager to welcome participants for the next session in the fall.
  • Eastman Opera Theatre celebrated its 100th season in 2023-2024. In partnership with the Voice, Opera, and Vocal Coaching Department, Eastman Opera Theatre continued its century-long tradition of excellence with three more outstanding productions this year.
