Martin Jean Reappointed

The ISM is thrilled to report that Yale President Peter Salovey has announced the reappointment of Professor Martin Jean as the director of the Institute of Sacred Music for a term ending on June 30, 2025. 

“Through Martin’s leadership, ISM has strengthened its excellence in performance, scholarship, and teaching while also increasing and supporting interdisciplinary initiatives and multi-faith collaborations with other university departments and schools,” President Salovey said. “[Martin] initiated and has continued an ambitious ISM Fellows Program, bringing several academics in sacred music, worship, and the arts to Yale each year. 

The Institute of Sacred Music is thriving under Martin’s creative and tireless leadership, and I am most grateful to him for his willingness to continue in this important leadership position.”  

He also acknowledged Martin Jean’s leadership in promoting the ISM’s engagement with the world through its publications, recordings, conferences, fellowships, interdisciplinary travel seminars, and many other programs. “The Institute’s faculty, students, and alumni serve as Yale ambassadors at cathedrals, congregations, academic institutions, and art organizations in the United States and around the globe,” the President said.

We at the ISM join President Salovey in thanking Martin for his willingness to continue in this important role and in wishing him success for the years ahead.  

Congratulations, Martin!
