Exhilaration, Passion, and Joy. Now on Sale.

2009–2010 Season

Music Director Alan Gilbert

Alan Gilbert.

A Maestro for New York.

The Philharmonic’s Exciting New Film Log on to nyphil.org/video to watch Alan Gilbert: A Maestro for New York and the Philharmonic’s official press conference announcing Alan Gilbert as the 25th Music Director.

An Extraordinary Invitation to Celebrate an Extraordinary New Era.

Deadline July 3, 2009 It’s never been easier to fit the New York Philharmonic into your budget and your schedule. For as little as $32 a concert, you can enjoy the famed orchestra performing the music you most want to hear: 14 masterworks by Mozart and Beethoven, soloists like Renée Fleming and Joshua Bell, our Stravinsky Festival, and much more.

You’ll also be the first to experience the next era of legendary greatness at the Philharmonic when 42-year-old native New Yorker Alan Gilbert takes the stage as Music Director. And when you subscribe, you’ll also receive better seating at lower prices, ticket exchange privileges, and our money-back guarantee.* But hurry—this opportunity only lasts until July 3, 2009.

“It was a thrill to hear the work performed with such precision and daring by the Philharmonic under Mr. Gilbert. The tremendous ovation bodes well for his coming tenure.”

–The New York Times†

* If, after your first concert, you don’t like what you’re hearing, we’ll cancel the rest of your subscription and refund the balance of your payment. †Mahler’s Symphony No. 1, May 7, 2009.

“Alan Gilbert blew me away with his brilliant, expressive performance.”

–Wall Street Journal

“Alan Gilbert turned in a stupendous performance–the strings sang out, and emotion surged through the music.”

–The New Yorker

“A musical panorama came to the fore, and Alan Gilbert knew exactly how to put it across–with total intensity.”

–Berlin Morgenpost
