Congratulations to Luna Lab’s 2025 Graduates

Congratulations to Luna Lab’s graduating seniors!

This year Luna Lab celebrates five alumni graduating from high school and college. Three Luna Lab alumni have graduated from high school and two Luna Lab alumni have graduated from college across five different fellowship years. We asked our graduating seniors to reflect on their their time with Luna Lab, their high school and college years, and what they are most looking forward to as they embark on their next musical journey. Read more from each Luna Lab alum on Instagram as we celebrate each of these accomplished composers.
