2021-22 CONCERT SEASON Presented By

My friends, live music is back.

This 95th Philharmonic season is dedicated to you, the dedicated patron who never lost faith, and to the musicians of this great orchestra, for envisioning a bright future ahead.

I am awestruck by the transformative (and often unexpected) connection that live music alone can deliver.

Together, we will raise a glass to the captivating power of live performance. Together, we will revisit essential classics and discover new voices. And together, we will join one another in an experience like no other.

95 years of great music is just the beginning.

Let the celebration begin!
