Internationally acclaimed, Grammy®-nominated composer and flutist Valerie Coleman will be the Eastman School of Music’s 2024 Glenn E. Watkins Lecture Series guest speaker.

The Eastman New Jazz Ensemble was established to showcase the finest contemporary music from around the world written for jazz ensemble. Performing repertoire primarily from the last 20 years, the New Jazz Ensemble plays music not often heard or yet recorded, and frequently premieres new works, including those of student writers, all under the direction of Dave Rivello. Admission is free and open to the public. Recommended for ages 6 and above.

The George Eastman Museum is delighted to announce the forthcoming exhibition, Scene at Eastman, which will open through April 20, 2025. The exhibition will comprise a set of photographs and sculptures made in aluminum, glass, concrete, paper, tin, and other materials. The photographs and sculptures in Scene at Eastman (“the works”) describe various acts and instances of apprehension, of address, of attendance to the presence of others. Some objects are original, others appropriated. The viewer’s own private practice of looking is solicited by the works. Viewers are alerted to the presence of cameras within the exhibition space: to enter the galleries is to be observed.
