• IN THE LATE NINETIES, NSA DEVELOPED A PROFESSIONAL MUSIC DIVISION THAT GREW OUT OF THE NEED TO ACCOMMODATE ADVANCED STUDENTS WHO WISH TO PURSUE A CAREER IN THE ARTS. STUDENTS IN THE PROFESSIONAL DIVISION ARE REQUIRED TO AUDITION. THE PROFESSIONAL DIVISION HAS SOME OF THE MOST ADVANCED STUDENTS FROM NEW JERSEY. RECENT STUDENTS HAVE GONE ON TO STUDY AT MANHATTAN SCHOOL OF MUSIC, MANNES SCHOOL, NEW ENGLAND CONSERVATORY AND JUILLIARD. STUDENTS IN THE PROGRAM HAVE PERFORMED AS PRELUDE ARTISTS AT NJPAC FOR PIANIST LANG LANG, CONDUCTOR CHARLES DUTOIT AND OPERA SINGER RENEE FLEMING. THEY DEEPEN THEIR KNOWLEDGE THROUGH OPPORTUNITIES TO MEET THE ARTISTS IN PERSON.

• SIGNIFICANT NUMBERS OF NSA ALUMNI HAVE GONE ON TO CAREERS IN THE ARTS. THEY INCLUDE WORLD-RENOWNED TAP DANCER SAVION GLOVER; LATIN SINGING SENSATION FRANKIE NEGRON, VOCALIST; KESHA KNIGHT PULLIAM- RUDY ON THE COSBY SHOW; COUNTER-TENOR DERRICK LEE RAGIN (METROPOLITAN OPERA/ENGLISH NATIONAL OPERA); PIANIST HSING-AY HSU, ARTISTIC ADMINISTRATOR OF THE PENDULUM NEW MUSIC SERIES AT THE UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO IN BOULDER; KIMBERLYN MONFORD, ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR OF MUSIC AT TRINITY UNIVERSITY; MAURICE CHESTNUT, TAP DANCER; TYSHAWN SOREY, MACATHUR FELLOW, COMPOSER AND MUSICIAN.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.
