Mannes College The New School for Music.

history

The institution was founded in 1916 by David Mannes (then concertmaster of the New York Symphony Orchestra ) and his wife Clara Damrosch (sister of Walter Damrosch , then conductor of this orchestra) and was initially called "The David Mannes Music School". After its establishment, the address of the school was initially "East 70th Street" (later the "Dalcroze School" moved there); the campus consisted of three brick buildings on East 74th St in the Upper East Side neighborhood of Manhattan . After 1938 the school was known as "Mannes Music School" (possibly after David and Clara Mannes retired from active teaching). In 1953 the school began offering degrees and changed its name to Mann's College of Music. It later merged with Chatham Square Music School and in 1984 moved to its current address on West 85th Street.

In 1989 the college became part of The New School ; this includes eight schools (including the Parsons School of Design , Eugene Lang College and the New School for Drama ). In 2005, Mannes changed his name to "Mannes College The New School for Music".
