Mannes American Composers Ensemble

Founded in 2012 by composer Lowell Liebermann, the Mannes American Composers Ensemble (MACE) represents works by iconic American composers such as Elliott Carter, Milton Babbitt, John Zorn, George Lewis, Augusta Read Thomas, Philip Glass, John Adams, and Steve Reich, as well as works by young and up-and-coming composers. Composer and conductor David Fulmer has been directing MACE since 2016 and has presented a kaleidoscopic lens of different aesthetics and styles, while exploring diverse musical programs of established 20th and 21st century masterpieces, together with presentations of newly commissioned works and premieres. On November 25, MACE will give the world premiere of a new work by Mannes student Ryan Brideau, alongside music by Carola Bauckholt, Augusta Read Thomas, Matthew Ricketts, George Lewis, and Pierre Boulez. Presented by the College of Performing Arts at The New School.
