Luciano Chessa (CRF 2015) recently returned from a trip to South Turkey, where he performed at a festival for children of Syrian refugees at the border of Syria, which was a “profoundly moving experience, both human and musical.”
Luciano is gearing up for the Mannes Orchestra taking the stage at Alice Tully Hall for a performance of exciting works from the 20th and 21st centuries. He joins the orchestra as guest conductor for the world premiere of Julius Eastman’s Symphony No. II – The Faithful Friend: The Lover Friend’s Love for the Beloved.
Known for their bold and adventurous programming, the Mannes Orchestra has been hailed by The New York Times for playing with “inviting warmth and solidity,” and for their “intensity of focus.” The 2018/19 Season has many exciting performances, collaborations, and projects, including performances at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall, John L. Tishman Auditorium at The New School, and appearances with the Mannes Opera at the Gerald W. Lynch Theater at John Jay College.
