A New York City performance is a must, both for aspiring performers and for the worlds greatest soloists and ensembles who want to stay in the public eye. The citys musical offerings range from incisive, glittering performances of established repertoire by the Philharmonic, the American Ballet Theater, the Metropolitan Opera, Jazz at Lincoln Center, and Carnegie Halls visiting orchestras to innovative programs by those bent on broadening the repertoirethe City Opera, the City Ballet, the American Symphony Orchestrato genrebending series and festivals celebrating the present moment World Music at Zankel Hall, the Bang on a Can marathon, and cutting-edge international offerings at Brooklyn Academy of Musics Next Wave Festival and the Lincoln Center Festival. Add to this hundreds of chamber music and jazz concerts, cabaret and dance, and then theres Broadway!

Leading by Example

THE VISION
Under President Sirotas leadership, and with the dedication of an outstanding faculty, Manhattan School of Music offers solid professional music training and continues to put forth fresh artists and ideas. Just as his inspiration brings musicians together in the performance of a new work, Bobs vision of a rigorous yet nurturing environment is being realizedstudent by student, program by programdaily at MSM. He is devoted to providing an educational experience for a generation of musicians who will reap the benefits, personally and professionally, throughout their lives and careers.

Manhattan School of Music, like its president, composer Robert Sirota, distinguishes itself by its innovation and passion. Brimming with energy and ideas, Bob Sirota is a president who truly leads by example. A complete musician whose training includes degrees from Oberlin and Harvard and studies with Nadia Boulanger in Paris, this dynamic New Yorker came home to Manhattan and to the presidency of MSM in 2005. He is a proven leader, as the past director of Boston Universitys School of Music and of the Peabody Conservatory, and he brings the added dimension to the job of knowing the art of music from the creators perspective.

It is a profound legacy our artist faculty are contributing towards and one that we all champion.

The Curriculum

An international conservatory granting Bachelor of Music, Master of Music, and Doctor of Musical Arts degrees, MSM trains students in performance and composition and provides a core curriculum in music theory, music history, and the humanities. Our four-year undergraduate program consists of the major field of study, ensemble performance, course work in music, and core classes in the humanities. The Masters program is a two-year curriculum of course work in musical subjects, ensemble performance, and the major field of study. The Doctor of Musical Arts curriculum prepares the candidate for a performing career and for teaching at the college level. We also offer a dual degree program with Teachers College at Columbia University, which grants an M.M. and M.A. in Music Education, with K-12 music teacher certification. Manhattan School of Musics Professional Studies Certificate Program is for students pursuing instrumental or vocal study on an advanced level and preparing for major competitions, auditions, or career entry positions. A one-year program for accomplished performers who have earned a Masters degree, a postgraduate diploma, or the equivalent, it offers intensive study in accompanying, brass, composition, guitar, organ, orchestral performance, piano, strings, voice, or woodwinds. With innovative curricula in orchestral and chamber music, jazz, opera, and musical theater, MSM provides the artistic and technical training necessary for the aspiring professional musician. Students in the opera program refine their technique while gaining exposure before New York City audiences by performing in opera scenes, community outreach concerts, and two full-length productions each year. Our program of study for jazz majors is designed to develop skilled performers, composers, and arrangers in preparation for a career in jazz. We offer the classical performer intensive coaching and ample performance opportunities ranging from small chamber ensembles through full orchestra. We believe there is no better preparation for a career than the performance experience and rigorous training that MSM offers. We give our students the best chance to go as far as their talent and determination will take them.

For me MSM feels just extraordinary. A lot of institutions are very square and have the attitude, This is how we do it: Youre a piano student. Youre a piano freshman. What are you doing conducting? Why do you want to do this? Here they dont ask those questions. They just ask, Why not?

THE CAREER
Joshua Frank 03, Freelance musician

Studying trumpet at Manhattan School of Music gave me insights on how to be flexible and have a diverse, exciting career. In the past few months Ive worked with the Metropolitan Opera, Orchestra of St. Lukes, and indie pop artist Sufjan Stevens, as well as working on my own personal recording projects. At MSM I began to think outside the box musically, and thats the path that Ive been on.

Alumni 17

J a z z s pok e n h e r e

Manhattan School of Music is fluent in the great American language of jazz. Like language, jazz develops through performance. The comprehensive training we offer in jazz performance, composition, and arrangement is designed to spur that development. Though we were one of the first conservatories to offer a full jazz program, the curriculum has been completely restructured and broadened under the leadership of program chair and Assistant Dean Justin DiCioccio, to include precollege through D.M.A. students. Coached by Justin DiCioccio, the Manhattan School of Music Jazz Orchestra, whose alumni include Jason Moran and Jane Monheit, has been named the Best College Jazz Orchestra by Downbeat magazine. The Jazz Orchestra spreads the word at prestigious jazz festivals and venues, through CD releases (five to date), and by accompanying such soloists as Wynton Marsalis, Jon Faddis, and Phil Woods. Directing the Afro-Cuban Jazz Orchestra, Bobby Sanabria celebrates la tradicion and pays homage to native speakers Mario Bauza, Dizzy Gillespie, Paquito DRivera, and Tito Puente.

Meanwhile, the Jazz Philharmonic is busy creating a new dialect through original works combining jazz rhythms and harmonies with contemporary classical techniques.

JAZZ

If you want to add your voice to the continuing jazz conversation, talk with us. Recent alumni include John Benitez, Ryan Kisor, Jane Monheit, Jason Moran, Chris Potter, Miguel Zenon, Obed Calvaire, Roland Barber, Rahsaan Barber, Stefon Harris, and Kim Thompson.

As an undergraduate, I studied with Justin all four years. Its just pure fun working with that cat. You really learn a lot from him. Hes serious about his teachingabout making everything feel like a groove. Especially for my career, this is the place for me to be. There are sessions all over the place, and you can hear music all the time, whether it be jazz, opera at the Met, or hip-hop at the Village Underground. Its all over the place. Two dollars on the train and youre good to go.

What sets MSM apart is a positive environment where young, talented musicians can feel supported and encouraged to do what they love.

The Engaged Ensemble

In todays orchestra world, playing your part has been redefined.

The program seeks to produce first and foremost expert orchestral players, but also orchestral citizens willing and able to participate in their ensembles artistic matters, community relations, and audience development. We are proud to have a hand in shaping the engaged orchestra of the 21st century.

CHAMBER MUSIC
Linda Chesis, Chair of Woodwind Department

Chamber music is the ultimate collaboration. It is my privilege to guide our talented students through the process of interpreting, rehearsing, performing, and, ideally, experiencing this mediums unique powers of expression.

Co l l a b o r a t i v e A r t i s t r y

At Manhattan School of Music collaborative artistry is a vital part of study and performance. Almost every classical instrumentalist and vocalist takes part in chamber music and ensemble performance. MSM has a fixed time in the daily schedule reserved for chamber music when the whole school participates in instrumental and vocal ensembles. Every semester, nearly 100 chamber music ensembles ranging from duos to octets are coached. Chamber

music faculty comprises 40 of the schools most experienced chamber musicians, including players from the Juilliard, Emerson, Mendelssohn, and Guarneri string quartets, the New York Philharmonic, and the Metropolitan Opera. Our prestigious resident ensembles, the world-renowned American String Quartet and woodwind quintet Windscape, coach and give frequent performances. Robert Mann, founder of the Juilliard String Quartet, gives a series of master classes every semester. In the winter and spring we hold the Lillian Fuchs Chamber Music Competition. Winners perform at the gala concert, which kicks off our popular Chamber Music Festivalsweekend-long celebrations featuring string, piano, woodwind, guitar, and vocal student ensembles.

Chamber Music 27

CONTEMPORARY MUSIC
Andy Kozar, Trumpet student

A program like MSMs Contemporary Performance Program is long overdue in the American conservatory. Finally, there is a chance to be directly involved in writing and playing the music of today.

MSM has long embraced the teaching and performance of contemporary classical music as central to our mission. In our new Contemporary Performance Program, we break down the barrier between creator and interpreter. Students radically engage the music of our time through expert instruction in contemporary performance technique and training in improvisation and

composition. The program opens out to new performance modes and models, exploring world music and multimedia presentation.

Our faculty is drawn from New York Citys leading new music interpreters, who share their insight into the great works and composers of our time and the joys of bringing new music into the world.

Contemporary Music 29

After meeting with the composition department and hearing the music of the teachers, I chose MSM. We have the composers concerts, we can put together a recital, and there are various competitions. I like the variety of compositional styles among the students and the teachers, so that theres really a teacher for everyone. You can approach any teacher here and get feedback.
Fernando Arroyo, Composition student Composer Richard Danielpour, shown at right, conferring with students

COMPOSITION
fo r g i n g a v o i c e

MSMs vibrant composition program embraces a diversity of styles and approaches in the creation of new music. The schools deep pool of performers and culture of innovation means there are ample opportunities for student composers to hear their new works.

VOICE
Vo i c e s c o m e a l i v e a t m s m

Manhattan School of Music gives full voice to opera. We are renowned for the excellence of our voice and opera studies program and for our preparation of the full singing artistfrom classroom, to teaching studio, to center stage. Fully staged, full-length opera productions by our Opera Theater, produced by Assistant Dean Gordon Ostrowski, have been praised by the New York Times for their significant contribution to operatic life in New York City. Our students, said Opera News, for the most part outdo themselves when given the chance to sing challenging new roles. Opera Theater singers round out their experience in performances of operatic scenes throughout the year, and in outreach training that includes participation in a childrens opera. The essential arts of stagecraft and dramatic interpretation are honed by Artistic Director Dona D. Vaughns Opera Workshop curriculum, and fully displayed in her Undergraduate Opera Theater Program. In the wings, our voice faculty, chaired by Maitland Peters, together with our distinguished academic faculty, provides comprehensive behind-the-scenes training for all of our voice majors: vocal technique, musicianship, music theory and history, piano, choral singing, diction, and an introduction to vocal literature in English, French, and German. Our full range of study supports both a Baroque Aria Ensemble and the American Musical Theater Ensemble. It is no wonder our students and graduates participate in leading apprenticeship programs and festivals in the United States, and go on to major American and international opera houses. We are proud of such established voice alumni as Ned Barth, Judith Blazer, Lauren Flanigan, Susan Graham, Shuler Hensley, Catherine Malfitano, Sanford Sylvan, Timothy Nolen, Dawn Upshaw, Jon Fredric West, and Dolora Zajick. We are equally as excited about the developing careers of such singers as Elaine Alvarez, Elizabeth Batton, John Gaston, Brandon Jovanovich, Jose Llana, Laquita Mitchell, Simon ONeill, and David Won.

It still amazes me the people I get to work with and the professional careers theyve had. It really helps to know their experience in the real world, so when I get out there Ill know what to expect.
