MNMP welcomes new Executive Director Nancy Kleaver

On August 1st, 2011, Nancy Kleaver officially took the helm as Executive Director of the Manhattan New Music Project. Nancy has been dedicated to engaging young people in their imaginations, educations, and communities for over 15 years. “MNMP is an organization with extraordinary potential to impact the creative capacity of this city,” she says. “I’m thrilled to get to lead an institution whose programs serve such a wide variety of New Yorkers — from students with autism, to renowned composers and classically trained ensembles, to teens hanging out at their local libraries. This year we will focus on uniting all of this great work into an even more powerful vision.” 08.01.11
