SUMMERTIME CLASSICS BEGINS WEDNESDAY!

About Me

The New York Philharmonic was founded in 1842 by a group of local musicians led by American-born Ureli Corelli Hill, and perform some 180 concerts a year. Since its inception, the Orchestra has championed the new music of its time, giving the first performances of many important works.

This pioneering tradition has continued to the present day, with works of major contemporary composers regularly scheduled each season. The Philharmonic undertakes a diversified touring schedule each season to share its music with new audiences around the world. From its first tour in 1882, through the 2004–05 season, the Orchestra has performed in 416 cities in 57 countries on five continents.

Television and the Internet have further expanded the Philharmonic's audiences. Since 1976, the frequent annual appearances of the Philharmonic on PBS's Emmy Award-winning Live From Lincoln Center have made it one of the most watched orchestras in the world. In 2006 the Philharmonic became the first major orchestra to enter into an agreement to produce downloadable concerts on the DG Concerts label.
