The Brooklyn Philharmonic

For the past five decades, the Brooklyn Philharmonic has played a leading role in presenting innovative and thematic programming, receiving 21 ASCAP Awards over the last 26 years for "Adventurous Programming of Contemporary Music." Since its 1954 inception, audiences have embraced the Brooklyn Philharmonic's commitment to the concept of the orchestra as a contemporary performance ensemble, emphasizing important present-day music, as in the decades of Beethoven and Brahms. The Philharmonic has premiered over 350 works, including 61 commissions. As the Philharmonic enters its 52nd season, it heralds the arrival of new Music Director Michael Christie. In addition to his post in Brooklyn, Christie is the Virginia G. Piper Music Director of the Phoenix Symphony and Music Director of the Colorado Music Festival.
