Many prospective students wonder what others before them have gone on to do. Sarah Lawrence College produces outstanding students and graduates who have developed acclaimed careers in music. Here are just a few…
- Kati Agocs, award-wining composer. http://www.agocsmusic.com/
- Sam Amidon, Celtic violin, banjo and recording artist. http://www.samamidon.com/index.html
- Steven Burke (1990), composer, who went on to study at the University of Wisconsin - Madison, the Yale School of Music and Cornell University (where he received his D.M.A.). A recent recipient of the Rome Prize and a Guggenheim Fellowship, he originally was a pre-med student at SLC who discovered that his love of music overpowered his work in science and mathematics, although those disciplines influenced the way he thought about and wrote music. He made that discovery and change at the College. He was also one of SLC's Presser Scholars.
