Mannes Orchestra at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall
Conducted by David Hayes

Featuring:
U.S. Premiere of Adolphus Hailstork, Ndemara
N.Y.C. Premiere of Marion Bauer, Symphony No. 1
David Diamond's rarely performed Symphony No. 2

For its return to Alice Tully Hall, the Mannes Orchestra presents an evening of pioneering American composers, including 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; the U.S. premiere of Adolphus Hailstork’s Ndemara; and David Diamond’s Symphony No. 2 – widely praised as a mid-twentieth century masterwork; it was composed amid World War II and premiered by the Boston Symphony Orchestra in 1944. Ndemara is the second work by Hailstork to be performed by the Mannes Orchestra in as many years – the group premiered his lauded work, Survive (Symphony No. 4), in March 2023 at Alice Tully Hall.

“A few years ago we made a commitment that the most high profile performances of the Mannes Orchestra would be curated by prioritizing works that we love, were either a world, U.S. or New York premiere, were written by under-recognized composers, and would benefit from a recorded performance. This Tully Hall program, a distinctly American one, animates this commitment in a beautiful and powerful manner, giving life to a work by Marion Bauer that had been waiting to be heard for almost 75 years, as well as the U.S. premiere of a favorite Mannes composer, Adolphus Hailstork. Rounding out this program is a work by David Diamond that rarely appears on programs anymore. As dean, I am proud of this work and hope lots of people will come to hear it,” said Richard Kessler, Executive Dean of the College of Performing Arts and Dean of Mannes School of Music.
