Manhattan School of Music Alumni brochure

Page 1


Founded as a community music school in 1918, today, MSM is recognized for its superbly talented undergraduate and graduate students who come from more than 50 countries and nearly all 50 states; its innovative curricula and world-renowned artist-teacher faculty; and – as you will see in the pages of this brochure – a staggeringly accomplished community of distinguished, award-winning alumni working throughout the highest levels of musical, cultural, educational, and professional realms. Welcome to version 2.0 of what is an evolving testimonial to our wonderful alumni.

This is a community that has been honored with Academy, Emmy, and Tony Awards; Pulitzer Prizes and MacArthur Fellowships (or “Genius Grants”); Metropolitan Opera competitions; and NEA Jazz Master fellowships. They have performed on the greatest stages in the world at institutions including the Metropolitan Opera, the New York Philharmonic, the Royal Opera Covent Garden, Paris Opera, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Vienna State Opera, the Chicago Symphony, the London Philharmonic, the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra, Jazz at Lincoln Center, and the great Broadway houses. And they have won numerous Grammy Awards and been central to literally hundreds of Grammy-winning projects.

Finally, the remarkable success of our alumni in fields outside of music – these are teachers, entrepreneurs, authors, corporate executives, and, in one case, Chair of the Council of Economic Advisors to a past President of the United States – speaks to the excellence of an MSM education, one that is focused on nurturing the highest standards of musical excellence but also extending well beyond the practice room.

This detail from MSM’s Mission Statement is particularly relevant and underscores the depth of talent and ingenuity on display in this brochure: “Manhattan School of Music is deeply committed to excellence in education, performance, and creative activity; to the humanity of the School’s environment; to preparing all our students to find their success; and to the cultural enrichment of the larger community.” Our extraordinary alumni compellingly validate that mission.

The people in these pages have indeed found their success and have contributed – and are contributing – to the cultural enrichment of the larger community…or, as I like to think of it, the world.
