Alumni

Thank you for being a part of our story

Welcome back to Jacobs. Wherever your path has taken you since graduation — performing, teaching, leading in another field entirely — you're a part of the Jacobs School story, and we're glad you're here.

Our alumni span the globe, and staying connected means more chances to connect with old classmates, attend a concert in Bloomington or online, and support the next generation of Jacobs artists.

Update your information, share your news, and see what's happening across the Jacobs community below. And if you have any questions, connect with Jacobs' Director of Engagement, Raymond Fleischmann.

Fund the Future

Here are three ways that you can make an immediate impact at Jacobs: support a student in need, help the school act quickly on emerging priorities, or help fund scholarships for tomorrow's musicians. However you choose to give, your gift goes directly to work.
