New York Philharmonic II

Tonight, I enjoyed another musical highlight during my time here in New York.



Again, I made my way to the Lincoln Center, Avery Fisher Hall. As an interesting service, the New York Philharmonic had sent both a curtesy email message as well as a phone call to let me know how to best get there considering ongoing weekend construction at the 66 Street subway station. Christoph von Dohnanyi, conductor, seemed to create a strong pull as the 14,525th concert was completely sold out:

Christoph von Dohnanyi, Conductor
Nikolaj Znaider, Violin

Harrison Birtwistle - Night's Black Bird (2004)

Sibelius - Concerto for Violin and Orchestra in D minor, Op. 47 (1902-04; 1905)

Beethoven - Symphony No. 5 in C minor, Op. 67 (1804-08)
