For the first time in modern history the Philharmonic will be performing outside its home for an entire season. While David Geffen Hall is currently undergoing major renovations and is scheduled to reopen in Fall 2022, the Orchestra and Music Director Jaap van Zweden will perform this season at two Lincoln Center venues: Alice Tully Hall and the Rose Theater at Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Frederick P. Rose Hall. In addition to these performances, the Philharmonic will be presented by Carnegie Hall in four orchestral concerts. 2021–22 Season Announcement / 2 The 2021–22 Philharmonic season, which begins on September 17, marks Jaap van Zweden’s fourth as Music Director. Throughout the subscription season he conducts a wide range of repertoire, including four World Premieres, a US Premiere, and two New York Premieres alongside symphonic cornerstones. He also leads the Orchestra in multiple concerts at Carnegie Hall. In the upcoming season the Philharmonic continues to build on its strong connections with New Yorkers and the city’s communities, many forged through impactful collaborations developed over the course of the pandemic with local organizations — National Black Theatre in Harlem, El Puente in Brooklyn, Casita Maria Center for Arts & Education in the Bronx, and Jamaica Center for Arts & Learning, A Better Jamaica, and Flushing Town Hall in Queens. Projects enriched by these partnerships include the New York Philharmonic Young People’s Concerts and complementary performance events that explore the season’s themes. Music Director Jaap van Zweden stated: “This is a very special time for the New York Philharmonic. First and foremost, as we return to live orchestral concerts, the Orchestra and I cannot wait to greet our audiences with programs that are full of wonderful surprises, embracing the traditional and welcoming the new. As you can see, this is a season of flexibility and varied venues. Come the fall of 2022, we all look forward to reuniting in our completely renovated home at David Geffen Hall.” Deborah Borda, the Philharmonic’s Linda and Mitch Hart President and CEO, said: “What a singular and unique time for the New York Philharmonic, filled with hope and rebirth. During the past 15 months we have so often used the word ‘unprecedented’ for it truly has been just that. Once again we say ‘unprecedented’ as we prepare to launch our 2021–22 season, a virtual kaleidoscope of movement, challenges, and opportunities. As the Orchestra navigates multiple homes this coming season in preparation for moving into a transformed David Geffen Hall in the fall of 2022, the programs, inhabited by remarkable artists and a variety of initiatives, respond to our city’s musical and community needs. Our musicians are so ready to be back!” SUBSCRIPTION SEASON AT ALICE TULLY HALL AND ROSE THEATER PLUS FOUR CONCERTS PRESENTED BY CARNEGIE HALL • The Orchestra’s season includes 50 concerts at Alice Tully Hall and 28 concerts at the Rose Theater at Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Frederick P. Rose Hall. • With a top priority being the health and safety of audiences, musicians, and staff, the Philharmonic will work closely with medical and public health experts to follow the latest guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, New York State, and New York City. Audiences will be provided with clear guidelines in advance of the concerts. • For the first time since the 1964–65 season, Philharmonic presentations include a series of Sunday matinees, complete orchestral concerts that begin at 2:00 p.m. • The Philharmonic presents a podcast series hosted by Deborah Borda, exploring the season’s themes and programming and inviting audiences into the Orchestra’s world. 2021–22 Season Announcement / 3 • The Philharmonic performs four concerts at Carnegie Hall, three led by Music Director Jaap van Zweden, one by Susanna Mälkki. In concerts presented by the Hall, the Orchestra will be joined by violinist Hilary Hahn, piano duo Katia and Marielle Labèque, pianist Igor Levit, and saxophonist Branford Marsalis. The repertoire includes a World Premiere by Sarah Kirkland Snider and a US Premiere by Nico Muhly; seminal works by Bartók, Brahms, Debussy, Mahler, Sibelius, and Wagner; and 20th-century compositions by three Americans: John Adams, Samuel Barber, and Adolphus Hailstork. MUSIC DIRECTOR JAAP VAN ZWEDEN’S FOURTH SEASON Premieres and Commissions Jaap van Zweden leads four World Premieres commissioned by the New York Philharmonic: Project 19 commissions by Joan Tower and Sarah Kirkland Snider, and newly commissioned works by Joel Thompson and Gregory Spears, both set to new texts by Tracy K. Smith (the 22nd US Poet Laureate), as part of Authentic Selves: The Beauty Within. Maestro van Zweden also conducts the US Premiere of a Philharmonic co-commission by Nico Muhly, and the New York Premieres of works by Hannah Kendall and Nina Shekhar. Additional Highlights Jaap van Zweden conducts A Gala Evening with Itzhak Perlman, and Authentic Selves: The Beauty Within, two weeks exploring the complexity of identity featuring The Mary and James G. Wallach Artist-in-Residence Anthony Roth Costanzo. Maestro van Zweden’s repertoire includes Chen Yi’s Duo Ye, Eastman’s Symphony No. II, Haydn’s Oxford Symphony, Perry’s Study for Orchestra, Schubert’s Unfinished Symphony, Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 9, Stravinsky’s Pulcinella Suite, and Walker’s Antifonys. More information on Jaap van Zweden’s fourth season is available at nyphil.org/jaap. ANTHONY ROTH COSTANZO The Mary and James G. Wallach Artist-in-Residence, 2021–22 AUTHENTIC SELVES: THE BEAUTY WITHIN Countertenor, producer, and creator Anthony Roth Costanzo has been named The Mary and James G. Wallach Artist-in-Residence for the 2021–22 season. His participation in the season is two-fold. He helps create and performs in Authentic Selves: The Beauty Within, two weeks exploring the complexity of identity, January 27–February 5, 2022. Throughout the season he also works with the Philharmonic to grow the partnerships and collaborations he helped forge during NY Phil Bandwagon. He collaborates with the Philharmonic on programming and performs in two weeks of concerts, both conducted by Music Director Jaap van Zweden. In the first program, January 27–29, 2022, at the Rose Theater, he is joined by trans-genre artist Justin Vivian Bond in a set of arias, standards, and popular songs arranged by Nico Muhly, and is the soloist in the World Premiere of Joel Thompson’s settings of new texts by Tracy K. Smith, the 22nd US Poet Laureate. In the second week, February 3 and 5, 2022, at Alice Tully Hall, he sings Berlioz’s Les Nuits d’été, traditionally performed by mezzo-sopranos, as well as the World Premiere of Gregory Spears’s settings of new texts also crafted by Tracy K. Smith. 2021–22 Season Announcement / 4 Mr. Costanzo said: “I’ve been thinking a lot about what defines us, how we become who we are, and how that gets expressed in the art we make. I look very different from the way I sound when I sing. How do we hear gender in pitch? How does this perception relate to my own queer identity? What is natural and what is artificial? The countertenor voice hints at questions of self and belies a wide spectrum of historical and cultural contexts surrounding falsetto singing. Authentic Selves is an opportunity to explore what stories my voice can tell, and what truths it can reflect.” In the other aspect of his residency, Mr. Costanzo helps curate co-presentations throughout the season with organizations that participated in NY Phil Bandwagon 2, including National Black Theatre, El Puente, Casita Maria Center for Arts & Education, Jamaica Center for Arts & Learning, A Better Jamaica, and Flushing Town Hall. Details will be announced. More information on Anthony Roth Costanzo’s residency is available at nyphil.org/anthonyrothcostanzo. GUSTAVO DUDAMEL CONDUCTS THE SCHUMANN CONNECTION Gustavo Dudamel returns to conduct the New York Philharmonic in The Schumann Connection, March 9–20, 2022. In each of two consecutive weeks he complements a pair of the Romantic composer’s symphonies with a World Premiere of a work commissioned by the Orchestra to reflect on the complicated relationship of Robert Schumann and his wife, pianist and composer Clara Wieck Schumann. The first week of concerts presents Schumann’s first two symphonies alongside the World Premiere of a Philharmonic commission by Gabriela Ortiz, March 9–12, 2022, at Alice Tully Hall; the composer of the work premiered the second week, March 17–20, 2022, at the Rose Theater, featuring the Symphonies No. 3, Rhenish, and No. 4, will be announced. The Orchestra’s performances will be complemented by a Sound ON contemporary music concert that spotlights creative partnerships akin to the one shared by Robert and Clara Schumann.

Like an elite figure skater or gymnast, the athletic effort she expended was palpable, but if the physical feats took any toll, the audience never saw it.” Biographies Beijing-born pianist Yuja Wang is set to achieve new heights in critical superlatives and audience ovations during the 2018–19 season, through recitals, concert series, season residencies, and extensive tours with some of the world’s most venerated ensembles and conductors.

  • 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.
