James Conlon, Music Director of the Cincinnati May Festival since 1979, conducted the May Festival Chorus and Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra on Friday, May 9 at Carnegie Hall's Stern Auditorium during the fourth and final installment of the Spring For Music festival. The centerpiece of the Carnegie Hall program is the New York premiere of The Ordering of Moses, a work by Robert Nathaniel Dett that received its world premiere at the 1937 May Festival, performed by a chorus of 350 with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra led by Eugene Goosens. Mr. Conlon opened the program with John Adams' Harmonium.
