About The New School of Music:
The New School of Music was founded in 1976 by composer, conductor, and musician Nicholas Van Slyck who identified a need in the area for access to high-quality music education and engagement. Driven by the belief that an organization dedicated to fostering a love and understanding of music through our community could address this need by providing access to music lessons, building community, fostering creativity, and providing performance opportunities for its students of all ages, Mr. Van Slyck brought his vision to life. Since its founding, NSM has stayed true to its original mission, today with an annual operating budget of just over $500,000, a team of over 20 teaching artists, and has made a significant community impact through serving students of all ages in and around Cambridge.
