Join our Friends Circle and be part of a
community dedicated to supporting the
important work of Manhattan School of Music
—while enjoying the benefits of membership!

The Friends Circle is a vital community of music lovers dedicated to celebrating the richness of the School, while also meeting others who share an interest in music and the performing arts. Members participate in unique activities designed to help the School diversify and broaden its audience while creating an extraordinary fellowship of arts enthusiasts who will help shape MSM for years to come.

Friends Circle members enjoy exclusive access to MSM performances and master classes, as well as invitations to members-only celebrations, learning opportunities, and some of New York City’s most intriguing cultural venues and events. MSM Friends are also invited to participate in vibrant social events, from cocktail parties to bowling tournaments, all combined with outstanding music—from classical, to contemporary, to opera, to jazz, to musical theater—and good cheer.
