Alfred Music is proud to announce that Iris Manus was honored with the 2019 MPA Lifetime Achievement Award.
On Friday, June 14, 2019, at the Music Publishers Association (MPA) Annual Meeting and Awards Luncheon in New York City, Iris Manus was given this high honor.
Founded in 1895, the Music Publishers Association is the oldest music trade organization in the United States, fostering communication among publishers, dealers, music educators, and all ultimate users of music. The MPA, a non-profit association, addresses itself to issues pertaining to every area of music publishing with an emphasis on the issues relevant to the publishers of print music for concert and educational purposes.
“I am deeply honored, pleased, and very proud to receive the MPA Lifetime Achievement Award,” says Iris Manus. “Helping the world experience the joy of making music has been incredibly rewarding. I met Morty, the love of my life, at Alfred Music. I made lifelong friends including authors, retailers, and industry partners. Music makes everything better. My life has been filled with music and love—I wish that for everyone.”
