This deluxe 304-page publication celebrating 100 Years of MSM history from 1918 – 2018 is available now!
The publication features treasures from the Manhattan School of Music Archives — some never before seen by the public — tracing the year-by-year history of the conservatory since it began in 1918, with more than 650 photos and scanned documents. This special publication is the most comprehensive document ever produced about MSM and is filled with historical details, anecdotes, and alumni reflections. Thousands of mentions of students, faculty, alumni, and guest performers are all carefully indexed for easy reference.
In spring 2020, the Centennial Book was recognized with two awards, winning a Grand Gold Award in the 2020 Circle of Excellence Awards from the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) and a Silver Award in the 2020 Educational Advertising Awards from the Higher Education Marketing Report’s 35th annual competition.
From the CASE judges:
“This book is stunning. The institution incorporated in-house talent in the design and invited their entire faculty to help in proofing. A teaser brochure announced that the book was coming, and a separate website was created to handle book sales, which are being used to offset the printing cost. The book has a soft-touch dust jacket, and the interior pages are on beautiful gloss stock with some sort of nice coating. This is a beautiful, well-written commemorative piece of an important New York City cultural institution. Bravo. Any higher-ed institution would be thrilled to show off such a book to showcase school history and accomplishments.”
