Leon Botstein
Leon Botstein (born December 14, 1946) is a Swiss-born American conductor, educator, historical musicologist, and scholar who has been the president of Bard College since 1975.
In 2026, the United States Department of Justice released emails confirming that Botstein traveled in 2012 to Little Saint James, the island owned by child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Afterward, Bard College hired WilmerHale to undertake an independent review of the extent of Botstein's communications and financial contributions associated with Epstein and any related issues.
