Animaesh Manglik ’18

Music Performance Major
Arts Management; Ethics, Society, and Culture Minors

Animaesh Manglik chose Miami for its combination of the outstanding music program and the well-rounded college experience it offered. As a high school student, he knew he wanted to go to music school but didn’t want to attend a conservatory. Animaesh wanted a broader college experience in which he could expand his interests beyond music and have more opportunities to get involved.

That is exactly what Animaesh achieved by choosing Miami. In addition to his major in Music Performance, he is pursuing minors in both Arts Management and Ethics. While Animaesh dreams of a performance career, he has also entertained the idea of attending law school with a focus in corporate or entertainment law.

In his spare time, Animaesh enjoys singing in the Men’s Glee Club and serves as the director for Soul2Soul, one of several a capella groups at Miami. He never thought he would enjoy teaching music, but his role as director of Soul2Soul has opened his eyes to new avenues for sharing it with others. He is also a member of the Phi Kappa Pi social fraternity.
