100 concerts to celebrate 100 years
To celebrate the Eastman School of Music’s 100th birthday, we are calling on alumni to present 100 concerts throughout the world in a single week. The festivities will be anchored around March 3rd to celebrate the anniversary of the opening of Eastman’s Main Building in 1922. Let us know how you plan to participate with a performance between March 1 – 7, 2022, and we will add your information to this special interactive map.
