"At the College of Musics recent Eklund Opera gala, Chancellor Justin Schwartz described the magic of music as a hallmark of human connection; of a civilized society; and as its own kind of renewable energy.

In these disorienting times, Im heartened that our mission is more relevant than everas is my commitment to continue to celebrate and support our students and colleagues in their transformative work and artistic aspirations."
