Bandier Program Named Top Music Business Program
The Newhouse School’s has been by Billboard magazine. The program has been included on the publication’s “Top Music Business Schools� list every time it has run.
The Bandier program combines the study of the business of music, media, marketing and entrepreneurship with hands-on experiences to prepare students for a successful career in the music industry. It was made possible through a generous gift from Syracuse University Trustee and Sony/ATV Music Publishing Chairman and CEO Martin Bandier ’62.
The Billboard announcement notes the 10-year run of the program’s David M. Rezak Music Business Lecture Series, which has allowed students to hear from and network with major industry figures, including Tat Tong, head of A&R for Sony Music in Greater China, and Jacqueline Saturn ’90, president of Virgin Music Label and Artist Services.
“It’s just one of the ways the program, a creative community housed within the larger, high-spirited student body of Syracuse, fortifies its industry-facing curriculum.�
