Music director David Hayes leads the Mannes Orchestra in a performance of Beethoven's Symphony No. 6, "Pastoral", and guest conductor Carl Davis conducts the U.S. premiere performance of his musical and dramatic work, Last Train to Tomorrow.

This semi-staged presentation marks the 80th Anniversary of the Kindertransport movement, a series of rescue efforts which brought thousands of refugee Jewish children to Great Britain from Nazi Germany between 1938 and 1940.

The Mannes Orchestra is joined in performing Last Train to Tomorrow by the Mannes Prep Senior Chorus and students of the School of Drama at The New School. Stage direction by Jennifer Holmes.
