Upon his return to the US, Rachmaninoff performed with the Philadelphia Orchestra in New York City with conductor Eugene Ormandy on 26 November and 3 December 1939, as part of the orchestra's special series of concerts dedicated to the composer in celebration of the thirtieth anniversary of his US debut. The final concert on 10 December saw Rachmaninoff conduct his Symphony No. 3 and "The Bells", marking his first conducting post since 1917. The concert season left Rachmaninoff tired, despite calling it "rather successful", and spent the summer resting from minor surgery at Orchard's Point, an estate near Huntington, New York on Long Island. During this restful period Rachmaninoff completed his final composition, "Symphonic Dances" (Op. 45). It is his only piece he composed in its entirety while living in the US. Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra premiered the piece in January 1941, which Rachmaninoff attended.
