The New School College of Performing Arts, Arts education institution in Greenwich Village, New York, United States.
The New School College of Performing Arts is a performing arts college in Greenwich Village, New York, that brings together music training, jazz studies, and drama instruction under one institution. Its programs are spread across several buildings in the neighborhood, including rehearsal rooms, classrooms, and performance spaces.
The college was formed in 2015 when three separate arts schools merged into one institution, and one of those schools had been active since the 1910s. The merger brought together artistic traditions that had developed independently over many decades.
Students from around the world perform concerts, theater pieces, and experimental projects at venues across Greenwich Village throughout the year. Many of these events are open to the public, giving visitors a chance to see jazz, classical music, and drama practiced side by side.
Since the college occupies several buildings across Greenwich Village, it helps to check in advance which location hosts the program or event you are looking for. Public performances are typically held in the evenings or on weekends and are often free or low-cost.
The college runs a student-operated radio station that broadcasts music and artistic content produced by students across its programs. The station is run entirely by students, giving them hands-on experience in production and broadcasting alongside their studies.
