This year four Eastman students are studying and teaching through the U.S. Government Fulbright program. Jay Kacherski, Masters of Music in Guitar Performance (2005) is in Mexico City, researching, studying and performing contemporary Mexican classical guitar music at the Escuela Nacional de Musica (National School of Music). John Koslovsky, Ph.D. candidate in Music Theory (2009) is researching the life and work of musicologist Felix Salzer at the Universität für Musik und darstellende Kunst Wien (pictured). Adam Peithmann, Bachelor of Music candidate in Organ Performance (2007) is studying the organ works of Dietrich Buxtehude on North German Baroque instruments with Professor Harald Vogel at the Hochschule für Kunst in Bremen, Germany. Anton (TJ) Grasch, a bachelor's degree candidate in voice (2007), has received a Fulbright-administered teaching assistantship in Austrian schools.
“I’m thrilled with this year’s success,” says Humanities professor and Fulbright Program Advisor Reinhild Steingröver, “but not at all surprised. Eastman students often fit the profile the Fulbright commission is seeking. Take Adam Peithman, for example. As an undergraduate he studied German language, history, and culture in the Humanities Department at Eastman and on the University of Rochester’s summer program in Berlin. His intellectual curiosity and strong language skills, along with a well-articulated project and the excellence of his playing, permitted him to assemble an exceptionally strong application.”
