The New York Philharmonic ushered in the New Year with a tribute to the late conductor/composer/educator Leonard Bernstein (1918-1990) to celebrate the 100th anniversary of his birth.
“In Their Footsteps,” curated by New York Philharmonic Artist-in-Residence Eric Owens, is a tribute to Marian Anderson, Betty Allen, George Shirley, and William Warfield.
The New York Philharmonic held their last ensemble for the 2012–2013 season on June 16, ending the series with a peculiar finale—a piercing life lesson from Russian literature.
