In December 2020, there were 15 Eastman School of Music alumni and faculty who received nominations for the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences, Inc.’s 63rd GRAMMY® Awards. Every year, members of the Eastman community earn these coveted, prestigious awards—to-date they’ve earned 57 of them.

Five of this year’s nominees—Gregg August ’87E, Sarah Brailey ’04E, Brian Giebler ’10E, Malcolm Merriweather ’10E (MM), and Maria Schneider ’85E (MM)—will join us for an inspired Experience Rochester discussion about music, performance, and the essential role of art and music in their lives and in all our lives.

Presented by the University of Rochester Alumni Board

and moderated by Rachel Roberts ’03E Associate Professor and Graduate Degree Program Director, Eastman School of Music’s Institute for Music Leadership
