Conducted by David Hayes, this special MACE presentation features a program of works by members of the Mannes Composition faculty. With a faculty that includes some of the most important voices of the 20th and 21st centuries, this special concert, showcases the creativity, originality, as well as the stylistic diversity of this remarkable cohort.

Founded in 2012 by composer Lowell Liebermann and directed in the Spring 2020 season by David Hayes and David Fulmer, MACE presents works by iconic American composers such as John Adams, Mason Bates and Steve Reich, as well as works by young and up-and-coming composers such as David Hertzberg and Nina C. Young. The ensemble aims to embrace a broad view of the vital landscape of contemporary American Music, and to bolster that landscape through premieres and, soon, commissions.
