annual report 2019/20
TRANSCRIPT
The New York Philharmonic’s 2019–20 season certainly saw it all. We recall the remarkable performances ranging from Berlioz to Beethoven, with special pride in the launch of Project 19 — the single largest commissioning program ever created for women composers — honoring the ratification of the 19th Amendment. Together with Lincoln Center we unveiled specific plans for the renovation and re-opening of David Geffen Hall, which will have both great acoustics and also public spaces that can welcome the community.
In March came the shock of a worldwide pandemic hurtling down the tracks at us, and on the 10th we played what was to be our final concert of the season. Like all New Yorkers, we tried to come to grips with the life-changing ramifications
The Philharmonic responded quickly and in one week created NY Phil Plays On, a portal to hundreds of hours of past performances, to offer joy, pleasure, solace, and comfort in the only way we could. In August we launched NY Phil Bandwagon, bringing live music back to New York. Bandwagon presented 81 concerts from midtown to the far reaches of every one of the five boroughs. In the wake of the horrific deaths of Black men and women, and the realization that we must all participate to change society, we began the hard work of self-evaluation to create a Philharmonic that is truly equitable, diverse, and inclusive.
The severe financial challenge caused by cancelling fully a third of our 2019–20 concerts resulting in the loss of $10 million is obvious. Since the March shutdown Musicians, Board, and Staff have worked intensively and creatively in partnership to craft new labor agreements, raise desperately needed funds, and find a pathway forward. Our new four-year labor contract helps to contain costs and also to expand possibilities to create a more flexible, vibrant, and community-involved Philharmonic.
Thanks to the generosity of our Donors, the commitment of the Musicians, and the dedication of the Staff the New York Philharmonic will emerge from these turbulent waters and return to serve our city and the art of music. We look forward to the moment we can all gather together safely to again enjoy the Philharmonic — live!
See you, in person, this fall,

PROJECT 19
Chr

In the 2019–20 season the New York Philharmonic launched Project 19, a multi-season initiative to mark the centennial of the 19th Amendment by commissioning and premiering new works by 19 women composers, from Pulitzer Prize winners to emerging talents. Those engaged through the single largest women-only commissioning initiative in history included (seen above, with Philharmonic President and CEO Deborah Borda, far right) Jessie Montgomery, Mary Kouyoumdjian, Joan Tower, Angélica Negrón, Joan La Barbara, Caroline Shaw, Sarah Kirkland Snider, Tania León, Ellen Reid, Caroline Mallonee, and Paola Prestini as well as (not in photo) Unsuk Chin, Nicole Lizée, Olga Neuwirth, Maria Schneider, Anna Thorvaldsdottir, Melinda Wagner, Nina C. Young, and Du Yun.
Philharmonic presentations (see next page) were complemented by (left) performances of Virgil Thomson’s The Mother of Us All, a staged opera on the life of Susan B. Anthony, co-presented with The Metropolitan Museum of Art and The Juilliard School.

Within the first three months of the season Jaap van Zweden and the Orchestra unveiled commissions by two eminences: (left) Philip Glass, in its World Premiere, and (above) Steve Reich (seen with his wife, video artist Beryl Korot), in its New York Premiere. In addition, the Philharmonic presented the New York Premiere of Bryce Dessner’s Wires, and featured that composer as curator in the Kravis Nightcap series (top, seen with Philharmonic Kravis Creative Partner Nadia Sirota, who hosts the series).

NY PHIL BANDWAGON
Over the summer of 2020 the New York Philharmonic worked with close collaborator and countertenor Anthony Roth Costanzo to conceive NY Phil Bandwagon, a series to bring live music back to New Yorkers. Beginning in the fall of 2020. a customized pick-up truck and small ensembles of the Orchestra’s musicians traveled to all five boroughs to present unannounced “pull-up” concerts.
Audiences were uplifted (above), and the initiative made headlines in major outlets, including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The New Yorker, Agence France-Presse (picked up by multiple international outlets), CNN.com, WNYC, WQXR.org, and New York magazine. Television news programs that covered it included the TODAY show, NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt, NY1, and WPIX11. CBS This Morning (top right) profiled Philharmonic Very Young Composer Grace Moore, whose work was premiered by NY Phil Bandwagon.

EDUCATION AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
New York Philharmonic education programs tap into the power of orchestral music to inspire creativity and establish community. The 2019–20 season began with interactive family concerts (see NY Phil Reach) and engaging school and community partnerships; after concerts were canceled and schools were closed, in-person programs — such as Very Young People’s Concerts and the Philharmonic Very Young Composers Program — adapted to serve learners of all ages and backgrounds through digital platforms.
Young People’s Concerts feature a newly created work by a participant in the Philharmonic Very Young Composers Program, including (top) Paloma Alonso, whose Sweating Bullets was conducted by Music Director Jaap van Zweden in its World Premiere. Philharmonic musicians coached and mentored student musicians in middle and high schools and colleges across New York City and beyond through partnerships with programs including the All-City High School Orchestra and Concert Band (above).

On March 23 the Philharmonic launched NY Phil Plays On, a portal to hundreds of hours of digital concerts to provide enjoyment and solace in the face of government-mandated shutdowns. Audiences in New York and around the world had free access to newly recorded virtual performances, video and audio of past performances, and activities. All were designed to bring a sense of community and connection.
Above: A Boléro from New York, a musical tribute to healthcare workers, received more than a million views between its launch, on April 3, and August 31. The Philharmonic made up for the city-mandated cancellation of the live Concerts in the Parks, Presented by Didi and Oscar Schafer, with a four-day digital celebration that culminated in a free broadcast on social media channels comprising highlights from past Central Park concerts featuring the likes of Luciano Pavarotti (right) and last summer’s encore conducted by Music Director Jaap van Zweden, as well as recently recorded virtual performances.

NY PHIL PLAYS ON(CONTINUED)
One season highlight that had been announced was Mahler’s New York — a celebration of the former Music Director and composer — was adapted into a digital festival. In addition to broadcasts of many of his symphonies and other important works, it included (clockwise from right) rebroadcasts of Young People’s Concerts conducted and hosted by Leonard Bernstein, a virtual performance of the Adagietto from his Fifth Symphony, and at-home solo videos featuring Philharmonic musicians, including a DJ set with Assistant Principal Timpani / percussionist Kyle Zerna (aka @djkylez). Major support for Mahler’s New York: A Digital Festival was provided by Laura Chang and Arnold Chavkin.
Glamorous and fun events throughout the season acknowledged the contributions of members of the Philharmonic’s Board of Directors and other very generous friends. The Fall Gala (above) saluted Chairman Emeritus Oscar S. Schafer and his wife, Didi, for their remarkable generosity over the years; they are seen here, left in photo, with Board Co-Chairman Peter W. May, President & CEO Deborah Borda, and Board Co-Chairman Oscar L. Tang.
The Lunar New Year Concert and Gala (right) was presided over by Gala Co-Chairs Tracy Fu and Sharon Wee, Board Member and Gala Co-Chair Misook Doolittle, Deborah Borda, Board Members and Gala Co-Chairs Angela Chen and Shirley Young*, Gala Co-Chair Ling Tian, and Gala Co-Chairs Agnes Hsu-Tang and Philharmonic Co-Chairman Oscar L. Tang. Not pictured are Honorary Gala Co-Chairs Mr. and Mrs. Maurice R. Greenberg. Starr International Foundation is the Presenting Sponsor of the Lunar New Year Gala.
