Dear Mr. Epstein, August 14, 2014
I hope this note finds you well and enjoying the remaining days of summer. In early June I assumed the
position of Senior Director of Development, Performing Arts at The New School. In this new role I
have the distinct pleasure of designing and implementing all fundraising initiatives and activities
relating to our three Performing Arts divisions: Mannes College The New School for Music, The New
School for Jan and Contemporary Music, and The New School for Drama.
As Senior Director I will create programs and infrastructure to engage alumni, parents, and friends in
meaningful and enduring New School relationships, and I will deliver the tactical and strategic
philanthropic resources necessary for Performing Arts to meet its academic, capital, programmatic, and
scholarship goals.
Over the next several months I will reach out to you for guidance and participation as we endeavor to
geographically unify our three Performing Arts divisions. In September, we will embark on the first
phase of a fundraising campaign to support the renovation of 55 West I3th Street, which will welcome
Mannes. Jazz, and Drama into its classrooms and corridors in the fall of 2015.
The story of Performing Arts at The New School is a quintessentially New York narrative, producing
such illustrious alumni as Bun Bacharach, Robert De Niro. Julius Rudel, Marlon Brandt), Frederica von
Stade, Mary Rodgers Guettel, Carl Schacter, Bradley Cooper, Marcus Strickland, Tony Curtis, Walter
Matthau, Tennessee Williams, Murray Perahia, Elaine Stritch, Beatrice Arthur, and Harry Belafonte.
Please join me as we establish the first comprehensive Performing Arts center south of 344 street,
through the convergence and unification of Mannes College The New School for Music, The New
School for Jazz and Contemporary Music, and The New School for Drama. We're not just raising the
bar for higher education in Performing Arts; we're creating a vibrant, downtown cultural destination.
I may be reached via email at
forward to continuing our din
All the cst,
