The Orchestra wrapped up their residency in Shanghai earlier this week with New York City swagger in a performance of Bernstein and Gershwin classics led by Bramwell Tovey. After the Orchestra headed home (some traveling by Shanghai’s maglev train 🚝 to the airport!), the Philharmonic’s Very Young Composers of Shanghai had their pieces performed in the culminating event of their week-long workshop. #nyphilharmonic #nyphil #orchestra #composer #nypshanghai #bernsteinat100 #maglev #musiceducation #musiciansofinstagram 📷: @chrisleephotonyc #chrisleephoto

From Thursday Night: The final program of our Bernstein festival showcased the power of Bernstein’s mighty, final symphony, “Kaddish” and All-Stars from the Orchestra, Principal Viola (@cpviola1) Cynthia Phelps and Principal Cello Carter Brey in R. Strauss’s “Don Quixote.” “The evening began with a glittering account of Strauss’s tone poem Don Quixote: The Philharmonic’s Carter Brey played the extensive cello solo magnificently, and Cynthia Phelps excelled in the solo viola passages.” — The New York Times And the performance of Bernstein’s Symphony No. 3, “Kaddish” that calls for huge forces, mixed-chorus, children’s chorus, a soprano, and a Speaker was praised as “A gripping performance” by the New York Times. Tuesday’s the last chance to hear it, led by Leonard Slatkin! #nyphil #newyorkphilharmonic #nyphilharmonic #bernstein #leonardbernstein #nypbernstein #bernsteinat100 📷: @chrisleephotonyc #chrisleephoto (at New York Philharmonic)

#MCM “Leonard Bernstein unquestionably loved dogs, and showed this by writing numerous short pieces with a particular one in mind. Bernstein left us this mini-ode, Rondo for Lifey, dedicated to a skye terrier owned by the composer's friend, actress Judy Holliday. The piece begins with an expressive intro, quickly followed by pervasive staccato phrasing throughout. Elegy for Mippy I and II are popular pieces with his brother Burtie's dog in mind. Mippy I was written for horn and piano. Mippy II is for solo trombone. Tragedy struck Mippy, and each of these pieces help signify the dog's second coming.” — @leonardbernsteinofficial #nypbernstein #leonardbernstein #bernsteinat100 #dogsofinstagram #dog #dogs (at New York Philharmonic)

From last night: 🔥🔥🔥 Philharmonic on fire! Principal Clarinet Anthony McGill (@mcgillclarinet) kicked off the evening with a blazing solo in Bernstein’s “Prelude, Fugue, and Riffs.” Afterwards, pianist Makoto Ozone dazzled the audience with his improvisatory style in “Rhapsody in Blue” AND performed Bernstein’s Symphony No. 2, “The Age of Anxiety.” We’re on week two of our three-week Bernstein festival honoring our former Music Director and Laureate Conductor Leonard Bernstein during his 100th birthday year. Next week: Leonard Slatkin conducts R. Strauss’s “Don Quixote” featuring Philharmonic All-Stars Principal Viola Cynthia Phelps and Principal Cello Carter Brey, and Bernstein’s Symphony No. 3, ”Kaddish.” #nypbernstein #leonardbernstein #bernsteinat100 @leonardbernsteinofficial (at New York Philharmonic)

"I think Lenny’s spirit is always with our Orchestra. Leonard Bernstein and the New York Philharmonic are synonymous.” — Principal Trombone Joseph Alessi #nypbernstein #bernsteinat100 (at New York Philharmonic)
