Meet the people who play a critical role at MSM, supporting its world-wide reputation for excellence.

A warm welcome to all —

It has been my honor to serve as President of Manhattan School of Music since 2013, working alongside our extraordinary and dedicated Board of Trustees, Artistic Advisory Council, International Advisory Board, Alumni Council, our Faculty Council and President’s Council.

In this section, you will meet the people who play a critical role in helping ensure that “those who excel, reach the stars” (our School motto) in the warm and supportive environment that MSM is proud to foster.

Please read our Mission Statement and our Strategic Plan to learn about our goals and vision for MSM.

Over the course of the 2018–19 academic year, this extraordinary institution marked its Centennial, celebrating a remarkable first century while at the same time looking towards the promise of an inspiring future for MSM. In the aftermath of that milestone year, beginning in early 2020, the School pivoted – as we all did – successfully navigating a global health crisis and emerging from it stronger than ever. Please enjoy my President’s Letter, which traces the arc of that first 100 years and relays all the ways that today’s MSM is truly exceptional.

Welcome to MSM’s second century.

Sincerely,

Dr. James Gandre
President, Manhattan School of Music
