Eastman School of Music Quartet Recalls Playing for the President
With more than a half century of experience between the four of them, a quartet from the Eastman School says no amount of rehearsal could have prepared them for the feeling of playing for President Barack Obama at the inaugural luncheon. “It was just an honor to be in the same room as him let alone play for him,” says violist Kelsey Farr. "We all knew it was going to be very exciting," adds violinist Markiyan Melnychenko. “But, for some reason, it just didn’t seem real until we entered the room where the event was being held.”

Presidential Words
The University has assembled an exhibit on the history of presidential speechwriting. The exhibit comprises more than 50 selections of presidential speeches from public and private collections, including a signed copy of President John F. Kennedy’s 1961 inaugural address, famous for the phrase, “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.”
