Mizzou New Music Initiative
Mizzou New Music Initiative brings together many exciting programs that position the University of Missouri School of Music as a mecca for composition and new music. MNM is the direct result of the generous support of Dr. Jeanne and Mr. Rex Sinquefield and the Sinquefield Charitable Foundation. The Sinquefields’ vision is to create an incubator for the composition and performance of new music, and to position Missouri as a major center for the music of tomorrow.
