    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 21, 2016 Contact: Katherine E. Johnson (212) 875-5718; [email protected] DAVID ROBERTSON TO RETURN TO NEW YORK PHILHARMONIC Conducting Works by ELGAR, John WILLIAMS, and HOLST PRINCIPAL TUBA ALAN BAER TO MAKE NEW YORK PHILHARMONIC SOLO DEBUT Performing JOHN WILLIAMS’s Tuba Concerto Saturday Matinee Concert To Feature Prokofiev’s Quintet Music by VERY YOUNG COMPOSERS from Afghanistan, Syria, Netherlands, and New York City Performed by Philharmonic Musicians May 26–28, 2016 David Robertson will return to the New York Philharmonic to conduct John Williams’s Tuba Concerto, featuring Principal Tuba Alan Baer in his Philharmonic solo debut; Holst’s The Planets; and Elgar’s Introduction and Allegro. “This piece has such a sound track quality to it; that’s what really drew me into it,” Alan Baer said. “E.T. is very visible. It could fit right into the movie. In the third movement you hear a lot of fanfare — like The Empire Strikes Back.” Alan Baer will perform John Williams’s Tuba Concerto on an F tuba he helped create. The New York Times recently wrote of Alan Baer’s performance with the Philharmonic in Mahler’s Symphony No. 6, led by Semyon Bychkov in February 2016: “Alan Baer, the tuba player, deserves mention … having provided a firm, sonorous basis for those lovely brass chorales.” John Williams’s music will be heard earlier in the week when he is honored at the New York Philharmonic Spring Gala, A John Williams Celebration, May 24, 2016, with the Orchestra performing music from the Oscar-winning film composer’s iconic scores, led by David Newman, along with clips from select films.

  • MXB Virtual Tour
    Projects & Proposals > Manhattan > Virtual Tour of Malcolm X Boulevard Archived Content This page describes Malcolm X Boulevard as it appeared in 2001. The tour was developed as part of the Malcolm X Boulevard Streetscape Enhancement Project. Welcome! Welcome to Malcolm X Boulevard in the heart of Harlem! This online virtual tour highlights the landmarks of Harlem and is available in printable text form. Introduction: This tour was developed by the Department of City Planning as part of its Malcolm X Boulevard Streetscape Enhancement Project. The project, which extends from West 110th to West 147th Street, seeks to complement the ongoing capital improvements for Malcolm X Boulevard and take advantage of the growing tourist interest in Harlem. The project proposes a program of streetscape and pedestrian space improvements, including new pedestrian lighting, new sidewalk and median landscaping and the provision of pedestrian amenities, such as seating and pergolas. The Department has been working with Cityscape Institute, the Upper Manhattan Empowerment Zone, the New York City Department of Transportation, and the Department of Design and Construction, and has received implementation funds totaling $1.2 million through the federal TEA21 Enhancement Funding program for the proposed pedestrian lighting improvements. As one element of the project, the Department developed this guided tour of the boulevard and neighboring blocks. The tour provides an overview of local area history, and highlights architecturally significant and landmarked buildings, noteworthy cultural and ecclesiastical institutions and other points of interest. A listing of former famous jazz clubs, such as the Cotton Club and Savoy Ballroom, is also provided. Envisioned as an information resource for residents and visitors, the tour is also available in printable text format for use as a hand-held guide for a self-guided walking tour along the boulevard.
