New York Resounds

September 13, 2026

Kupferberg Center for the Arts

Description

The American Symphony Orchestra presents a memorial concert surrounding the 25th anniversary of September 11th. While serving as an occasion for remembrance and reflection, the program also celebrates the enduring strength of the human spirit. The majesty of Aaron Copland’s Fanfare for the Common Man, the anguished beauty of Gustav Mahler’s Adagio from the composer’s tenth symphony, the poignancy of George Walker’s Lyric for Strings, and additional scores, together pay tribute to the resilience, dignity, and contributions of ordinary Americans, as well as the courage and sacrifice of the heroes of 9/11.

Free with RSVP. Link will be available soon.


The ASO’s Vanguard Series is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.

This program is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.
