This issue of Quarter Notes —our final edition of the 2023-24 academic year —is dedicated to our students. Their hard work, practice, and accomplishments may sometimes go unrecognized in the constant flurry of activity in our busy school, but our community is stronger, more vibrant, and more inspiring thanks to the incredible care and tenacity our students demonstrate in their time with us. Our Class of 2024 graduates are already looking ahead to the next chapters of their academic, artistic, and professional careers, and we bid them farewell and wish them the greatest success in all of their endeavors. This issue contains news from just a few of our extraordinary students, but each and every one of them make important contributions to our community, and for that we are proud and grateful.
—Joël-François Durand, Acting Director, School of Music
