Tracy Schutty
Peabody National Advisory Council Member and Peabody Alumna (MM ’94, Flute)
“The time I spend with Peabody reminds me of my passion—music—and how important it is to me.”

Allan and Claire Jensen
Co-Chairs of the Peabody Legacy Circle
“Peabody offers such great things—from its superb teachers and young artists, to reasonably priced concerts—that help make Baltimore the great cultural city that it is.”

Marian Hahn
Conservatory Faculty Member
“I give to Peabody particularly to fund scholarships for pianists. I want to make a Peabody education available to any young, talented pianist who wants to attend , regardless of his or her financial situation. This dream is still a long way from being realized, but I want to do my part in making it happen.”

Carole Evitts
Preparatory Named Scholarship Donor, former Preparatory parent, and former Preparatory Student
“We wanted to pay tribute to something that had been so important to my parents all their lives. The scholarship recognizes the transforming power of the arts in our lives.”

Dr. Sol Snyder
Peabody National Advisory Council Member
“The only way to convey the essence of creativity in scientific discovery is by the intimate, reciprocal feedback of the student-mentor link. Developing expertise in musical performance demands the same not-very-cost-effective but crucial relationship. Doing whatever I can to help this process and secure the next generation of world-class performers is notably gratifying.”

Dick Davison
Peabody National Advisory Council Member
“I don’t have the musical gene. But I’ve got rhythm! And I’ve always liked music.”

Alison Matuskey
Peabody Alumna (MM ’82, Piano)
“This collection of extraordinary people—teachers, performers, and students—enriches my life and those of many other people. I truly believe that music lifts all of us out of the ordinary and enables us to touch magic.”

Marci Jackson
Peabody Alumna (BM ’04, Horn)
“What an extreme privilege it has been to attend one of our country’s premier conservatories. A donation to the annual fund helps provide students with extraordinary opportunities.”
