We are thrilled to welcome new faculty member Christine Jensen!

Relocating from Montreal, Canada composer, arranger, conductor and saxophonist Christine Jensen will be joining us as an Assistant Professor in the Jazz and Contemporary Media department! She has been described as, “an original voice on the international jazz scene… [and] one of Canada’s most compelling composers,” by Mark Miller of the Globe and Mail.

"I am thrilled to join the Eastman community, where I look forward to sharing my passion for jazz composition as well as directing the Eastman Jazz Ensemble. I am excited to be working, teaching and learning with colleagues and students in an inspired place of inclusion and openness.” —Christine Jensen

“By way of our being here to enrich Eastman’s

“By way of our being here to enrich Eastman’s history, these halls have been imbued with the standards of excellence and community, something that would not occur if it were not for all of you.”

“The lessons we have learned, the conversations we have had, and the kindness we have shared all connect to give Eastman the unique place in our hearts and minds that it will hold forever, and for that we should feel proud. I wait with bated breath to hear about the wonderful things this class will accomplish in the coming years. May you always find belonging, courage, and fulfillment no matter where your journeys might take you.” —Elise Noyes, Graduate Student Association President

“We often refer to our school motto, ‘Meliora’, a Latin term that translates to the phrase we take great pride in: ‘better’ assuming the connotation ‘ever better.’ We share motivation in the concept that the world may be made better by human effort…”

“Dear Class of 2022 and its mentors, ‘Meliora’ is not just about an endless pursuit of trying to be better in hopes that someday we reach perfection. ‘Meliora’ is about seeing and appreciating better things. The deeper we search, the stronger the conclusion becomes that ‘the better’ is actually the people we live among each and every day.” —Raffi Wright, Senior Class President

“…you have to trust in the indispensable uniqueness of your DNA, in your genetic blueprint which has never before existed.

…We need you and your ideas in purest form, unadulterated by fear of alienation or by the rounded-down edges of compromise. And if you don’t fit neatly into the structure of things, you might be surprised by the world’s capacity to make room for you anyway.” —Kevin Puts (’94, ’99 (DMA), Commencement speaker and Distinguished Alumni Award Recipient

Continuing our Class of 2022 Spotlights with Anna

Continuing our Class of 2022 Spotlights with Anna Lenti! #classof2022

@bananalentils graduated with a DMA in Choral Conducting. Next year Anna will be heading to Williamstown, MA where she will be Artist in Residence and Director of Choral/Vocal Activities at Williams College.

"This terminal degree from Eastman is so special for me. Not only does it represent the 12th degree in my family from Eastman (3 for my aunt, 3 for my uncle, 2 for my dad, 2 for me, 1 for my mom, and 1 for my sister), but it also represents the culmination of my academic journey in a place that I have called home for my entire life. My earliest childhood memories include coloring under my dad's piano while he taught lessons, exploring the organ hallway with my sister, and sneaking onto the stage of Kilbourn Hall to play the big piano when no one was looking. It has been so special to be back here as a student, pursuing the passion I have for choral conducting. Everything that I love most about Eastman has always remained the same: the incredible teachers and mentors who guide you along your way, the colleagues who inspire you and push you to be your best, and the community that supports you through the ups and downs of it all. I have always felt so privileged to have been a part of this amazing place, and I feel very emotional that my time here is coming to an end!"
