Led by music director David Hayes, the Mannes Orchestra takes the stage at Alice Tully Hall for a performance in recognition of The New School Centennial and of Aaron Copland as a central figure within the history of The New School. This special concert features landmark works by Copland, as well as a newly devised dramatic work that uses the transcript of Copland’s testimony before the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations of the Committee on Government Operations, which was chaired by Senator Joseph McCarthy. 

Program:

• Aaron Copland - Lincoln Portrait

• Newly devised work conceived and directed by Isaac Butler

• Aaron Copland - Symphony No. 3 

Known for their bold and adventurous programming, the Mannes Orchestra has been hailed by The New York Times as an orchestra whose quality is “a revelation”,” and for their “intensity of focus.” The 2019/20 Season features many exciting performances, collaborations, and projects, including performances at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall, John L. Tishman Auditorium at The New School, and appearances with the Mannes Opera at the Gerald W. Lynch Theater at John Jay College.
