Student Spotlight

Kristin Field

BM Student ’26

“I really loved Mason Gross’s proximity to New York and the number of opportunities that presents. NYC is such an important location for musicians, and it being right there to take advantage of provides so many resources and connections that I’m looking for. To see so many talented artists come in and teach from the city shows that this program is truly something special.” The New Jersey Jazz Society’s Jersey Jazz magazine recently named Field a “Rising Star.”
