From renaissance vocal music to modern electronics, the classic arts scene in New York is never quiet. Here is just a sampling of some of the classic arts events happening this week.

Gustavo Dudamel will conduct Prokofiev’s Symphony No. 5 with the New York Philharmonic at Lincoln Center’s David Geffen Hall September 16-19. The same symphony which Dudamel conducted in his Philharmonic debut concert in 2007 will mark the start of the orchestra’s first season under the maestro’s musical directorship. The program will also feature John Adams’ On the Transmigration of Souls, and the world premiere of Zosha Di Castri’s Invisible House.

The American Classical Orchestra will open its 42nd season with a concert at Alice Tully Hall September 17, featuring Haydn’s Lord Nelson Mass, which was originally titled Mass for Troubled Times and written in response to Napoleon’s campaign against Austria. It took on the name of Lord Horatio Nelson in honor of the admiral’s defeat of Napoleon in the Battle of the Nile. The mass will feature soprano Shelén Hughes Camacho. The program will also include Beethoven’s Symphony No. 1.

The Jupiter Symphony Chamber Players will offer Russian Tributes on September 14 at the Good Shepherd Presbytarian Church. The program will include Reinhold Glière’s Deux morceaux, Anton Arensky’s String Quartet No. 2, and Rachmaninoff’s Piano Trio No. 2.

Bassoonist Katherine Young will join new music quartet Yarn/Wire on September 17 to celebrate the release of her new album BIOMES. The ensemble will also be joined by electronicist Olivia Block, multi-instrumentalist Ben LaMar Gay, and percussionist Brain Chase. The ensemble will perform Young’s BIOMES 6.0, an immersive piece featuring tape machines and improvisations.

Vocal quartet New York Polyphony will give a 20th anniversary concert at the St. Mary the Virgin Times Square on September 19. The concert will include early music from composers including Byrd, Palestrina, and Crecquillon, alongside contemporary pieces by Andrew Smith and Akemi Naito.
