NEW YORK -- Mannes College The New School for Music presents Mannes in Unison, a new concert series featuring world-class faculty members and alumni performing alongside exceptional students. Under the direction of violin virtuoso and Mannes College faculty member Lucie Robert, the recitals will be held on Tuesday, November 25th, 2014 and Thursday, May 7th, 2015 at Mannes College’s Concert Hall, 150 West 85th Street. Mannes College is one of the only conservatories in the country now presenting a concert series dedicated to musical collaboration between master teachers and their students. The learning process, from rehearsals to the concert hall, will provide the opportunity for young talents to reach new levels of professionalism while enhancing their musicianship through mentorship with master musicians.
