The New Music Seminar (NMS) originated in New York City as an event dedicated to education and the celebration of music throughout history that took place every year in June from 1980 to 1995. After several years, the annual NMS was relaunched in 2009.^[1]

In 2012, NMS hosted the first New York Music Festival in collaboration with the New York City Mayor's Office of Media & Entertainment declaration of the city’s first New York Music Week. The festival took place in 17 venues throughout Manhattan and Brooklyn.
