January, 2016
We are sad to announce that Morton Manus, President of Alfred Music, passed away at his Los Angeles home on January 9. In 2011 the MPA honored Morty with our MPA Lifetime Achievement Award for his devoted service to music educators, students, musicians, the music community as a whole, as well his tireless leadership and extraordinary vision. A great man, his absence in the industry will be felt.
You can read more about Morty's life and adventures through Alred's site.
In lieu of flowers, the Manus family has suggested making contributions to vh1savethemusic.org/donate or cancer.org.
