History of the Long Island Conservatory of Music
Long Island School of Music and Arts (LISMA) was first established in March of 1992 with only eight classrooms in the 3,000 sq. ft building, located on 182 Hillside Ave. Williston Park, Long Island, New York. The school’s constant effort to achieve a higher level of music education lead to an expanding number of students and activities, and LISMA decided to move to the current location of 12,000 sq. ft. on 1125 Willis Ave in Albertson, New York, and changed its name to Long Island Conservatory of Music (LICM). In 2005,
LICM expanded once again adding an additional 3,500 feet, encompassing a 150-seat concert facility;
Albert Hall, a library, additional practice rooms, and a lunch area.
Since its foundation in 1992, LICM continues to grow into one of the leading institutions of music in the New York Metropolitan area, and one of the most established and successful music schools in Nassau County. Its faculty members are outstanding musicians who have obtained their Master and Doctoral degrees from prominent institutions such as The Juilliard School, Yale University, New England Conservatory, Manhattan School of Music, Mannes College, Moscow Conservatory and St. Petersburg Conservatory.
A large number of the approximately 5,000 pre-college students who have studied at the school have gone on to pursue their music education at renowned institutions in the area such as The Juilliard School, Manhattan School of Music and Mannes College, and have participated in competitions such as Young Artist Music Competition, LI International Violin Competition, NJ Symphony Competition, Diploma of Sarasate International Violin Competition, Pamplona, Spain; Shostakovich Violin Competition, Shanghai, China, and the YWCA Competition.
LICM’s mission is to prepare performers for the future. The faculty consists of internationally trained performers, composers, scholars and educators, who not only take pride in providing the best instruction available, but also strive to tailor a program which is the most suitable for each individual student.
LICM’s small class sizes provide a high level of attention provided to each individual student.
This environment not only helps to nurture creativity but also helps to mentally support each young musician on all levels. It is one of the most important lessons LICM has learned from its ample experience of educating pre-college students.
LICM provides a variety of opportunities to its students to perform off campus since it is through these actual experiences that students achieve the skills necessary for their career. LICM presents regular concerts at Carnegie Hall, Merkin Hall, St. Petersburg Philharmonic Grand Hall, Russia; Opera House, St. Petersburg, Russia; Maguire Hall, Old Westbury Garden, The Museum of Modern Art, Eisenhower Park, Steinway Hall and also local nursing homes and libraries in the area. These concerts consequently help enrich the cultural community in Nassau County and neighboring areas.
Since 2004, LICM has co-sponsored an International Music Festival and Competition with SUNY Old Westbury, providing students with the opportunity to meet musicians from all over the world. It is a time where young musicians can communicate their musical ideas and stimulate each other thus enhancing their creativity. The winners of the competition are presented annually at Steinway Hall in the “Soloists in Spring” Concert hosted by LICM.
The conservatory’s music education has always been backed up by a number of significant events that took place outside the classroom. The first LISMA Summer Music Camp was held in Moscow, Gynesins in 1994. The program consisted of lesson and practice time, as well as offering the participants the opportunity to observe the Tchaikovsky Competition held at the Moscow State Conservatory.
The competition afforded students with an unforgettable chance to see musicians, of the highest level, and from all over the world, perform.
