After a two-year hiatus, the Mannes Orchestra returns to Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall on Sunday, March 13 with a concert featuring three great works by BIPOC composers, including one US premiere, one New York premiere, and a rarely performed masterpiece.

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.” In recent seasons, the orchestra has carved out a reputation for risk-taking and bold performances including recent world premieres of works by Julius Eastman and Johanna Beyer, a 2019 all-Copland concert featuring a new dramatic staging of Copland’s showdown with Senator Joseph McCarthy, and the first-ever screening of Fog of War by Errol Morris with live orchestra (scored by Philip Glass).

The 2021/22 Season sees the orchestra return to the stage and features many exciting performances, collaborations, and projects, including performances at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall, John L. Tishman Auditorium at The New School, appearances with the Mannes Opera at the Bank Street Theater and the Martha Graham Dance Company at New York City Center.
