From 1917 to 1941, Mannes conducted free public concerts at the
Metropolitan Museum of Art's Great Hall. The series consisted of eight concerts per year, and was funded primarily by John D. Rockefeller. Records indicate that there were 781 in attendance for the very first concert and that by the
163:
sixth concert of 1919, attendance was over 7,000. Mannes recruited musicians for the series from the New York
Symphony Orchestra, and later the New York Philharmonic when the New York Symphony merged with the Philharmonic Society of New York.

David Mannes was both a musician and an activist. He believed music to be a universal language, and that it could be used to bridge divides between races and social classes in
America.
