Happy Birthday …
… to us!
169 years ago on this day,the New York Philharmonic’s first concert took place in the Apollo Rooms on lower Broadway before an audience of 600. The concert opened with Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5 and was led by Philharmonic founder-father Ureli Corelli Hill.
Tonight, the Orchestra performs its 15,277th concert before an audience of thousands, led by Daniel Harding.
Happy birthday to America’s oldest (and most fabulous) symphony orchestra!
