Mannes Orchestra at Alice Tully Hall
The Mannes Orchestra, led by conductor David Hayes, presents an evening of pioneering American composers. The program includes the New York City premiere of Marion Bauer’s rarely performed Symphony No. 1, which was composed between 1947 and 1950 but was never performed during the composer’s lifetime, and features the U.S. premiere of Adolphus Hailstork’s Ndemara. Ndemara is inspired by a bright star, prominent in the summer sky, called Ndemara or ‘The Sweetheart Star,’ by the Shona. Hailstork says, “The visibility of this star was supposed to indicate the time for lovers to part before their parents discovered them.” David Diamond’s Symphony No. 2 completes the program – widely praised as a mid-twentieth century masterwork; it was composed in the midst of World War II and premiered by the Boston Symphony Orchestra in 1944. Presented by the College of Performing Arts at The New School.
