"I visited EIU several times as a high school student, and one thing that stuck out to me every time I was on campus was the sense of community the school exuded. As a musician, and especially as a composer, community is vital to my line of work. While at EIU, I have found dozens of lifelong friends and collaborators with whom I can share my passion for music."Ben SchwarbergMUSP | Springfield, IL
