The Manhattan School of Music Symphony, Philharmonia and Chamber Sinfonia perform more than thirty major works each year, ranging from the symphonies of Beethoven, Brahms, and Mahler to contemporary works by composers who have included Richard Danielpour, Aaron Jay Kernis, and Ned Rorem. Past conductors who have led performances and orchestral readings include Kurt Masur, Julius Rudel, Charles Dutoit, George Manahan, and Stanislaw Skrowaczewski, among many others. Manhattan School of Music has been the recipient of ten consecutive ASCAP awards for adventuresome programming of contemporary music.
Through the School뭩 annual concerto competition held each spring, students are selected to perform in solo performances with an orchestra. Distinguished pianist and longtime faculty member Constance Keene established the Eisenberg-Fried Concerto competition, as it is called, in memory of her parents.
In addition, Manhattan School of Music maintains an ongoing relationship with the Berlin Philharmonic that began in 1998 when musicians from the Berlin Philharmonic first came to the School. They have subsequently visited Manhattan School of Music when on tour in New York, coaching and conducting orchestral students in sectionals as well as orchestral readings. Berlin Philharmonic assistant conductors Graziella Contratto and Henrik Schaefer, as well as concertmaster Daniel Stabrawa, have led orchestral students in works by Mahler and Brahms.
The School has also participated in a special internship under the auspices of the Salzburg Easter Festival that took place in April 2003 and April 2004. Manhattan School of Music orchestral musicians annually participate in orchestra programs in Verbier, Switzerland, and Attergau, Austria.
