What is the purpose of the IML?
Recognizing the fundamental power of music and its importance in peoples’ lives, the Institute for Music Leadership has been created to actively engage musicians in new ways and challenge them to think more broadly about music, its role, and their role in society. It serves as a center for the creation and implementation of new ideas related to music leadership — for Eastman students, alumni, and practicing musicians at all stages of their careers. The goals of the IML reflect the expansion of Eastman’s role as an innovator and a standard bearer in professional development.
