says<\/a> MSM Board Chair Kishore Ballal. \u201cHis tenure has been marked by a deep and steadfast commitment to our mission, our students, our faculty and staff, our alumni, and to the long-term strength and sustainability of MSM. The Board has considered it a privilege to work with him throughout his presidency.<\/p>\n\u201cThese accomplishments \u2014 and many others \u2014 reflect something fundamental about Jim\u2019s leadership: a deep belief in and love of this institution, and a determination to leave it stronger than he found it,\u201d Ballal adds. \u201cHis partnership, candor, persistence, and unwavering commitment have made an indelible mark on MSM.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt has been the honor of my professional life to serve MSM as president,\u201d Gandre shares. \u201cI am deeply grateful for the opportunity to have served this extraordinary institution, first as a member of its administration and faculty and, since 2013, as its president. I have had the great privilege \u2014 and profound responsibility \u2014 of leading the School through a period of significant change and growth, and I am especially grateful to have done so alongside such talented, dedicated, and deeply caring trustees, faculty, and staff.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy announcing my retirement nearly two years in advance, I hope to give the Board and our community the gift of time: time for a thorough and deliberate search, and time to prepare thoughtfully for the next chapter of MSM\u2019s history. Together, we have built much, and together, we have much more to do. I look forward to the important work ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cChoosing the next president of Manhattan School of Music is among the most consequential responsibilities entrusted to the Board,\u201d Ballal explains. \u201cWe will approach that responsibility with the care, thoughtfulness, and commitment it deserves. At the same time, we are grateful that we have the opportunity to work with Jim and the entire MSM Community for nearly two more years as we build on the strong foundation of this remarkable institution.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Manhattan School of Music (MSM) has announced that its president, James Gandre, will retire from his position…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":348605,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[75,84,83,9,24,63],"class_list":["post-348604","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-manhattan","tag-manhattan","tag-manhattan-headlines","tag-manhattan-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/348604","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=348604"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/348604\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/348605"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=348604"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=348604"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=348604"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
