Stephen Greco reveals the inspirations and ambitions behind this long‐running cultural gift to New York City. Enjoying open‐air music with your neighbors is as old as civilization itself. New York leaders doubtless had this in mind back in the 19th century when, as part of a broader quality‐of‐life agenda, they endowed their growing metropolis with masses of magnificent public parks. These were places where culture and nature could come together, where urbanites could experience the richest kind of “cultural citizenship.” As such, the parks make a perfect setting for a New York cultural treasure that is, in fact, 15 years older than Central Park itself — the New York Philharmonic, which this July continues its tradition of playing free concerts throughout the boroughs of New York City. “I’ve always wanted the Orchestra to have a meaningful connection to the city,” says Philharmonic Music Director Alan Gilbert, a native New Yorker. “I want it to be a source of civic pride, to be a resource for the city, to be an obvious expression of what is great about the city.” Alan Gilbert and the New York Philharmonic in Central Park on July 14, This year’s return of the Philharmonic’s Concerts in the Parks 2009 features five free outdoor concerts, presented in some of the city’s photo by Chris Lee loveliest locales.
