A Different Kind of Conservatory

Discover a creative learning environment in which technical mastery is only the beginning.

At Mannes School of Music, we've transformed the traditional music conservatory by integrating rigorous classical training with boundary-pushing performance experiences and opportunities to collaborate across disciplines. Mentored by world-class artists and educators, Mannes students develop an entrepreneurial outlook and prepare to chart their own course in today's ever-evolving music landscape. Many Mannes graduates work in the world's premier orchestras, ensembles and opera houses; others launch their own solo or collaborative enterprises, making their impact felt as innovative music makers, business leaders, scholars, and educators.
