Music Director Alan Gilbert

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


nyphil.org or call 212 875 5656 3

Passion, Inspiration, and Joy. You’d expect nothing less from the new Music Director of the New York Philharmonic. But New Yorkers Can Look Forward To So Much More.Alan Gilbert shares a unique chemistry with New York and the New York Philharmonic. A native New Yorker who literally grew up with the Orchestra, his performances with the Philharmonic are universally acclaimed for their intensity, their power, and their beauty. His fresh insight into the classics makes even the best-loved favorites sound new and inspiring. And his ability to communicate the soul of the music elevates and transports even the most work-weary listener.

A new era is dawning at the Philharmonic. Join us.
