The New York Philharmonic has also announced details for the Free Indoor Concert at the Snug Harbor Cultural Center & Botanical Garden on June 24, 2015. The program will feature New York Philharmonic musicians performing Mozart’s Serenade in G major, Eine kleine Nachtmusik; Grieg’s Peer Gynt Suite No. 1, Op. 46; and Spohr’s Nonet. Tickets are free, but required for this event, and are available at www.brownpapertickets.com/event/1692402. Also in celebration of the 50th year of Concerts in the Parks, the New York Philharmonic Archives has partnered with the Department of Education to engage New York City public school elementary through high school students from all five boroughs in classical music and history, linked to the Concerts in the Parks. Students have been provided with a multi-media resource packet, including suggested activities and copies of archival materials like photographs, printed programs, and historical newspapers. Throughout June, in partnership with the Queens Library, the New York Philharmonic Archives will present 50 Years of the New York Philharmonic in Queens Parks, multimedia talks about the Philharmonic’s history and the Orchestra’s relationship with Queens through the Concerts in the Parks. The talks will take place at the following Queens Library branches: Fresh Meadows (June 6, 2:30 p.m.), Flushing (June 7, 2:00 p.m.), Windsor Park (June 11, 2:30 p.m.), Central Library (June 11, 6:00 p.m.), Forest Hills (June 13, 3:00 p.m.), and Glen Oaks (June 19, 1:30 p.m.). The Philharmonic Archives, in conjunction with the Queens Library, will present a photo exhibit in Cunningham Park about the Philharmonic’s history performing in Queens, and the evening of the Cunningham Park concert (June 22) the Archives will collect attendees’ memories of past concerts in Queens. The Archives will also present photo exhibits at the Concerts in the Parks in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park and Bronx’s Van Cortlandt Park. As previously announced, the Philharmonic has launched Crowdsourcing Memories: 50 Years of the Philharmonic in New York City’s Parks, an online portal through which the public can share their personal Concerts in the Parks memories. These submissions will be preserved forever in the New York Philharmonic Archives (which maintains the Orchestra’s historical treasures dating back to its founding in 1842), and many will be featured throughout the Concerts in the Parks 50th anniversary celebrations, including on the Philharmonic’s website. Members of the public are invited to contribute their memories of the Philharmonic’s parks concerts since 1965 — not only favorite musical moments under the stars, but also family outings, reunions with friends, elaborate picnics, first dates, marriage proposals, and more — through photographs, home movies, and personal recollections. For information on how to submit material, visit nyphil.org/parks50memory. The 50th anniversary summer of the New York Philharmonic Concerts in the Parks will open June 17 with Music Director Alan Gilbert conducting an all-American program that features (more) Concerts in the Parks / 3 violinist Joshua Bell performing the suite from Bernstein’s West Side Story that he played in his previous Concerts in the Parks appearances, in July 2001; the program also includes Barber’s The School for Scandal Overture, Gershwin’s Lullaby, Copland’s Appalachian Spring, Leroy Anderson’s Fiddle-Faddle, Rodgers’s The Carousel Waltz, and Sousa’s The Liberty Bell. Charles Dutoit then conducts the Orchestra in Franco-Russian concerts: Berlioz’s Roman Carnival Overture; Saint-Saëns’s Violin Concerto No. 3, with Renaud Capuçon in his Philharmonic debut; Stravinsky’s Petrushka (1911 version); and Ravel’s La Valse. Alan Gilbert returns in a variant of the all-American program featuring Bernstein’s West Side Story Concert Suite No. 1, performed by soprano Julia Bullock and tenor Ben Bliss, both in their Philharmonic debuts. In addition, musicians from the New York Philharmonic will perform a Free Indoor Concert in Staten Island at the Snug Harbor Cultural Center & Botanical Garden (June 24), featuring Mozart’s Serenade in G major, Eine kleine Nachtmusik; Grieg’s Peer Gynt Suite No. 1, Op. 46; and Spohr’s Nonet. The performances begin at 8:00 p.m., and the outdoor concerts will be followed by fireworks by Bay Fireworks. The 2015 New York Philharmonic Concerts in the Parks are presented, for the ninth year, by Didi and Oscar Schafer. The iconic series of free outdoor performances has been enjoyed by more than 14 million concertgoers since it was introduced in August 1965. New York Philharmonic Concerts in the Parks: A Brief History The New York Philharmonic Free Concerts in the Parks — the dream of Carlos Moseley, the Orchestra’s then-Managing Director — were launched on August 10, 1965, when 70,000 listeners arrived in Central Park’s Sheep Meadow to hear the World Premiere of William Schuman’s Philharmonic Fanfare — a New York Philharmonic Commission that was composed for the event — along with Wagner’s Die Meistersinger Overture and Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, the last featuring soprano Ella Lee, mezzo-soprano Joanna Simon, tenor Richard Cassilly, bass John West, and the Manhattan Chorus, conducted by William Steinberg. According to Time magazine on August 20, 1965, the crowd of 70,000 was the largest audience for a musical event in the city’s history. The ensuing 11 concerts that summer took place in Prospect Park in Brooklyn, Crocheron Park in Queens, the Bronx Botanical Gardens, and Clove Lake Park in Staten Island with a total audience of 457,000. The second week of concerts featured clarinetist Benny Goodman performing Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto, and the third week featured Aaron Copland performing his own Piano Concerto. When Leonard Bernstein conducted Beethoven’s Symphony No. 3, Eroica, and Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring the following year, one official estimated the crowd at close to 90,000. The Central Park concerts moved from The Sheep Meadow to The Great Lawn in 1980. The first season of the Parks Concerts was funded by a contribution of $57,500 from the Jos. Schlitz Brewing Company (which continued its sponsorship of the series for ten years); the City of New York, which spent $100,000 for the stage and other equipment and $90,000 more for operating costs; and by Schlitz and the Philharmonic, which provided almost $120,000 for the (more) Concerts in the Parks / 4 remaining expenses. The trailer-ized orchestral shell was named the “Minnie” Guggenheimer Shell in honor of Mrs. Charles Schafer Guggenheimer of the Philharmonic’s Board of Directors and Auxiliary Board, as well as the great-aunt of today’s presenter, Oscar Schafer; she had been a leader in presenting outdoor music in the city at the Lewisohn Stadium Concerts. The popularity of the Parks Concerts and the breadth of its audiences have attracted more than 50 U.S. and international conductors to the Orchestra’s summer stage. Among their ranks are Philharmonic Music Directors Lorin Maazel, Leonard Bernstein, Pierre Boulez, Zubin Mehta, Kurt Masur, and Alan Gilbert, in addition to conductors Andre Kostelanetz, Alfred Wallenstein, Lukas Foss, Seiji Ozawa, Josef Krips, Julius Rudel, Rafael Frübeck de Burgos, Jean Martinon, Michael Tilson Thomas, Thomas Schippers, Erich Leinsdorf, James Conlon, David Zinman, Andrew Davis, Yuri Temirkanov, Marin Alsop, Valery Gergiev, Bobby McFerrin, Bramwell Tovey, David Robertson, and Andrey Boreyko.

Michigan Ave, Chicago, IL, for $175 plus $5 shipping and handling. The Centennial Collection-Chicago Symphony Orchestra RCA-Victor Gold Seal, GD 600206 (3 CDs; monaural, stereo, ADD and DDD). (total time 3:36:3l2). A "musical trivia" question: "Which American symphony orchestra was the first to record under its own name and conductor?" You will find the answer at the beginning of the 12-CD collection, The Chicago Symphony Orchestra: The First 100 Years, issued by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra (CSO). The date was May 1, 1916, and the conductor was Frederick Stock. 3 This is part of the orchestra's celebration of the hundredth anniversary of its founding by Theodore Thomas in 1891. Thomas is represented here, not as a conductor (he died in 1904) but as the arranger of Wagner's Triiume. But all of the other conductors and music directors are represented, as well as many guests. With one exception, the 3-CD set, The Centennial Collection: Chicago Symphony Orchestra, from RCA-Victor is drawn from the recordings that the Chicago Symphony made for that company. All were released previously, in various formats-mono and stereo, 78 rpm, 45 rpm, LPs, tapes, and CDs-as the technologies evolved. Although the present digital processing varies according to source, the sound is generally clear; the Reiner material is comparable to RCA-Victor's on-going reissues on CD of the legendary recordings produced by Richard Mohr.

Both Christoph Eschenbach and Till Fellner won the Clara Haskil International Piano Competition, in 1965 and 1993, respectively. Mr. Fellner subsequently recorded Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 22 on the Claves label in collaboration with the Clara Haskil Competition. The New York Times wrote of Mr. Eschenbach’s conducting Bruckner’s Symphony No. 9 with the New York Philharmonic in 2008: “Mr. Eschenbach, a compelling Bruckner interpreter, brought a sense of structure and proportion to the music without diminishing the qualities of humility and awe that make it so gripping. … the orchestra responded with playing of striking power and commitment.” Artists Christoph Eschenbach is in demand as a distinguished guest conductor with the finest orchestras and opera houses throughout the world, including those in Vienna, Berlin, Paris, London, New York, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Milan, Rome, Munich, Dresden, Leipzig, Madrid, Tokyo, and Shanghai.

  • ANNUAL REPORT 2019/20 Fadi Kheir Fadi LETTERS from the LEADERSHIP
    ANNUAL REPORT 2019/20 Fadi Kheir Fadi LETTERS FROM THE LEADERSHIP The New York Philharmonic’s 2019–20 season certainly saw it all. We recall the remarkable performances ranging from Berlioz to Beethoven, with special pride in the launch of Project 19 — the single largest commissioning program ever created for women composers — honoring the ratification of the 19th Amendment. Together with Lincoln Center we unveiled specific plans for the renovation and re-opening of David Geffen Hall, which will have both great acoustics and also public spaces that can welcome the community. In March came the shock of a worldwide pandemic hurtling down the tracks at us, and on the 10th we played what was to be our final concert of the season. Like all New Yorkers, we tried to come to grips with the life-changing ramifications The Philharmonic responded quickly and in one week created NY Phil Plays On, a portal to hundreds of hours of past performances, to offer joy, pleasure, solace, and comfort in the only way we could. In August we launched NY Phil Bandwagon, bringing live music back to New York. Bandwagon presented 81 concerts from Chris Lee midtown to the far reaches of every one of the five boroughs. In the wake of the Erin Baiano horrific deaths of Black men and women, and the realization that we must all participate to change society, we began the hard work of self-evaluation to create a Philharmonic that is truly equitable, diverse, and inclusive. The severe financial challenge caused by cancelling fully a third of our 2019–20 concerts resulting in the loss of $10 million is obvious.

For a period of time (1787-1791) he served as chamber composer to Catherine II of Russia and composed two operas for production in St. Petersburg in addition to a quantity of instrumental and vocal wo rks. He also succeeded Salieri as Kapell­ meister at the Austrian court under Leopold II. It was while he was in the service of Leopold that he composed The Secret Marriage (II M atrirnonio segreto), his only opera to maintain a place in the active operatic repertory. This lively example of Italian buffo was very successful from the first performance at the Burg Theater in Vienna, February 7, 1792.

As early as 1968, he set down his first versions of Lalo’s Symphonie espagnole and Ravel’s Tzigane (for RCA), as well as of Franck’s Sonata (for Decca). He later revisited the Symphonie espagnole , this time coupling it with Berlioz’s Rêverie et Caprice (DG, 1980). Next came Chausson’s Concert (1982, CBS), Saint-Saëns’s Third Concerto (DG, 1983) and, a few years later, Debussy’s Sonata and Ravel’s Trio (1994, Decca). In 1974, under the baton of Jean Martinon, he recorded four concertante works inspired by “exotic” music, but reclothed in westernised garb. Combining the concertante genre with the theme of foreign travel became very fashionable in France back in 1834, the year in which Berlioz’s Harold en Italie received its premiere. It appeared to be a recipe for success and other composers, such as Lalo, D’Indy, Chabrier, Saint-Saëns, Debussy and Ravel were to try their hand at it. Certain (non-French) musicologists have noted, slightly tongue-in- cheek, that French composers showed a particular talent for conjuring the musical atmosphere of places they had never actually visited… The works on this album would appear to back up that claim.
