THE YOUNG NEW YORKERS for the Philharmonic offers an opportunity for enthusiasts under 40 to experience the music of the New York Philharmonic—and be introduced to others who are passionate about the arts. The program offers discounts for members as well as invitations to events, like the annual summer and winter benefits. “We are a collection of people who are all connected by an appreciation of the world’s most talented musicians playing the world’s most beautiful music,” says Stephanie A. Sirota, chairman of the Young New Yorkers for the Philharmonic. “Our group is a colorful cross-section of New York. We are young entrepreneurs, restaurateurs, academics, and investors. We have foodies and fashionistas and lawyers—and a doctor or two. Everyone is passionate, creative, and keenly aware that the New York Philharmonic will only survive if it continues to reach each generation and the ever-evolving landscape that makes up the city.” From left to right: Andrew T.
