The New York Philharmonic connects with up to 50 million music lovers each season through live concerts in New York and around the world, as well as broadcasts, recordings, and education programs. The 2022–23 season marks a new chapter in the life of America’s longest living orchestra with the opening of the reimagined David Geffen Hall, programming that engages with today’s cultural conversations, and revitalized connections with New York City communities. The NY Phil has appeared in 435 cities in 63 countries, and commissioned and / or premiered important works, from Dvořák’s New World Symphony to Tania León’s Pulitzer Prize–winning Stride. The Orchestra streams performances on NYPhil+ and shares its extensive history through the New York Philharmonic Shelby White & Leon Levy Digital Archives. Jaap van Zweden became Music Director in 2018–19, succeeding titans including Bernstein, Toscanini, and Mahler.
