Summer 2012 Catalog - Peabody Institute - Johns Hopkins University

THE PEABODY PREPARATORY
The Peabody Institute comprises the Conservatory and
the Preparatory, sharing facilities in the historical center
of Baltimore. The Institute offers the resources and opportunities
necessary for the complete development of its
music and dance students in keeping with the philosophy
of its founder George Peabody and the community spirit
of the Preparatory’s founder May Garrettson Evans.
As a proud division of the Institute, the Preparatory
boasts students who have won acclaim in local and
national performances and competitions. Our renowned
Preparatory faculty influences the national arena through
their own performances, speaking engagements, teacher
training, master class direction, and competition adjudication.
Other schools have adopted our program models
and our outreach program has garnered national recognition
and respect. Our strong reputation has attracted the
interest of international visitors and students in order to
seek their arts education at the Preparatory. Students have
gone on to study at such prestigious institutions as the
Peabody Conservatory, Eastman School of Music, Juilliard
School of Music, New England Conservatory, the Oberlin
Conservatory of Music, and The Curtis Institute. Our graduates
perform with college and professional dance companies
and orchestras throughout the world. Illustrious
students of the Preparatory have included composer
Philip Glass, singer James Morris, pop singer Tori Amos,
choreographer Martha Clarke, jazz pianist Cyrus Chestnut,
composer Camara Kambon, and violinist Hilary Hahn.
