Шаблон:Infobox university The Buchmann-Mehta School of Music (BMSM) is an institute of higher education in Tel Aviv, Israel. The school is a part of the Faculty of the Arts of Tel Aviv University and is operated in collaboration with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra (IPO). The school is named after German Jewish philanthropist Шаблон:Ill and conductor Zubin Mehta, then music director of the IPO. Mehta is the honorary president of the school and has conducted the school's orchestra regularly in Israel and on tours abroad. The BMSM mission is to train elite young musicians in performance, composition and research in music and prepare them for professional careers in these fields. The BMSM's orchestral training program is an integral part of the school and aims to educate orchestral musicians to supply the artistic future of the IPO and other orchestras.

History

Файл:Zubin Mehta 1.jpg

The school is named after philanthropist Josef Buchmann and conductor Zubin Mehta (pictured), who is the BMSM's honorary president.

The school's origins were as the Israel Conservatory and Academy of Music, founded in 1945 by senior members of the IPO (until 1948 named the Palestine Symphony Orchestra) who had fled Europe on the brink of World War II. In 1966 it was merged into the newly formed Tel Aviv University and in 1972 became a cornerstone for the university's Faculty of the Arts. The heads of the academy were among the founding fathers of the music world in Israel: violist and composer Ödön Pártos, pianist and conductor Arie Vardi, composers Yehezkel Braun, Yizhak Sadai and Joseph Dorfman, violinist Yair Kless and composers Ami Maayani and Noam Sheriff. The school's three honorary presidents were Arnold Schoenberg, Leonard Bernstein, and Zubin Mehta.

The Buchmann-Mehta School of Music was founded in March 2005 as a partnership between Tel Aviv University and the Israel Philharmonic. The school's foundation was made possible by the donation of Josef Buchmann and conductor Zubin Mehta, who has been actively involved in the school since its inception. The first director of the school and one of its founders was pianist and pedagogue Tomer Lev. In 2009 he was succeeded by conductor and bassoonist Zeev Dorman, who had served as the IPO's principal bassoon player as well as chairman of the orchestra's executive board for nearly 25 years. In August 2015 Lev resumed his post as head of the BMSM. In 2021, Lev was succeeded in the position by Dr. Uri Binyamin Rom.

Academics

The school trains students in performing, singing, conducting, composition and theoretical research and grants B.A/B.Mus and M.A/M.Mus academic degrees as well as PhDs in musicology.

The school has a department of bow string instruments, keyboard instruments, wind instruments, vocal studies, composition, conducting, chamber music and musicology.

International students program

The BMSM "Adler-Buchmann International Free Tuition Program offers students who come from outside of Israel tuition free-of-charge," and on a selective basis also living stipends and housing.

Ensembles and orchestral training program

BMSM has "a full symphony orchestra, opera ensemble, oratorio choir, chamber choir, contemporary music ensemble and around 50 different other ensembles." Students in the school's orchestral training program have weekly sessions and sectional rehearsals with the principal players of the IPO.

The BMSM Symphony Orchestra serves as the cadet orchestra for the Israel Philharmonic and its members are coached by IPO's musicians. The orchestra performs in Israel and abroad.
