  • The stellar faculty at Mannes includes Pulitzer, Grammy, MacArthur Genius, Guggenheim, and Avery Fisher Prize winners. This collection of working musicians represents all areas of the music world-concert artists, chamber musicians, successful freelancers, established composers. They are members of leading organizations such as the New York Philharmonic, Metropolitan Opera, Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, New York City Opera, Philadelphia Orchestra, and Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center.

  • Our top-ranked faculty members are at the core of our progressive music experience. While other teachers might put you on a strict track, these legendary musicians, like Jane Ira Bloom and Reggie Workman, become your mentors. They help you develop the intellectual confidence and freedom to experiment, take risks, fail, take more risks, and find your own authentic style of self-expression.

  • Our faculty of actors, directors, writers, and producers represent the kind of artist you can hope to one day become. Their work is currently winning prestigious awards and critical acclaim throughout Hollywood, Broadway, Off-Broadway, television, and online. They have extraordinary connections that give you unprecedented access to the theater and film community. And they thoughtfully and rigorously pass on everything they know and care about to you.
