Jordan Scoville, 2026-27 Intern

An aspiring scholar and musician of many dimensions, Jordan Scoville is a junior double majoring in music and history at Wellesley College where they study violin with Gabriela Diaz and carillon with CSEM Board Member Margaret Angelini. Their keen interest in musicology, historically informed performance, and the early Romantic period has led them to previous work as an intern and librarian at the Emmanuel Music Institute and Handel and Haydn Society.
