The New York Philharmonic is much more than an orchestra for New York — “ we’re an orchestra with something to say to the world. Philharmonic” violinist Fiona Simon Kultur- und Kongresszentrum, Principal Trumpet Philip Smith and  Teatro Regio, Parma, Italy New York Philharmonic Concerts in the Parks Lucerne, Switzerland his wife, Sheila, in Rome, 2006 Born in England  What makes an orchestra a household name around the world?

In the case of the New York Philharmonic, the 2005–2006 season offers a multitude of answers: • we presented concerts of the highest order throughout the subscription and summer seasons that drew record live audiences and critical acclaim • we continued to attract the most virtuosic musicians from around the world as guests and as members of the Orchestra • we reached new audiences through several innovative concert formats, including one for three- to five-year-olds that was an instant sell-out • we rallied our international fan base during a two-part tour of Europe, celebrating 75 years of international touring, then renewed our ties to Italy on our first visit there in 20 years • we inaugurated Deutsche Grammophon’s DG Concerts series, becoming the first major American orchestra to offer downloadable concerts on iTunes • we expanded our national radio broadcasts from 39 to 52 weeks per year

Much of this was possible because of our rich and varied relationships. In 2005−06 we deepened long-standing bonds, while forging important new ones. At our side once again, helping to underwrite our endeavors in Europe, was Citigroup — a tour sponsor since 1980. This time they were joined by Volkswagen. New to our family of support was Generali, which wholly underwrote our tour to Italy. For the 11th year, Time Warner was a sponsor of our free Concerts in the Parks, and we were delighted to welcome CIT Group to this great New York tradition. MetLife Foundation, our education partner for many years, helped us to broaden our offerings to young people, and to reach more people of all ages through our expanded national radio broadcasts.
