New York Philharmonic

✈️ The second stop on the New York Philharmonic’s 2024 tour to China was Nanjing, and the Philharmonic packed quite a bit into less than 48 hours there. 🎻 A quartet of musicians gave a pop-up concert at the Golden Eagle International Shopping Center, performing works by Fanny Mendelssohn, Florence Price, and Nina Shekhar, while others took the opportunity to stretch, recharge, and take in the fabulous views of the city. The Orchestra’s sold-out concert on June 30 — at the impressive Jiangsu Grand Theatre — featured works by Mozart and Copland, conducted by Music Director Jaap van Zweden. Starr International Foundation is the Presenting Sponsor of the New York Philharmonic in China. 📸: Chris Lee

Experience the original summer movie blockbuster like never before, as the Orchestra brings to life the Academy Award-winning score that made John Williams a household name. Directed by Steven Spielberg, JAWS set the standard for edge-of-your-seat suspense and remains one of the most gripping adventures in motion-picture history. Now it’s an unforgettable film-with-live-orchestra event! Anthony Parnther, who led last season’s sold-out performances of BLACK PANTHER in Concert returns to conduct. In the words of Chief Brody, “You’re gonna need a bigger boat!” #sharkweek

Happy Fourth of July, from your NY Phil! 🎆 📸 Chris Lee

From New York City to Guangzhou! ✈️ After a long day of flying, some New York Philharmonic musicians enjoyed the cultural offerings of the bustling city, from fabulous food (it’s the birthplace of Cantonese cuisine) to stunning art and inspiring history. It’s truly been a milestone tour. The NY Phil became the first US orchestra to perform in mainland China since 2019! The visit also marks Jaap van Zweden’s final international tour as the NY Phil's Music Director. He's already conducted symphonies by Brahms, Copland, and Mozart, led the Chinese Premiere of Nina Shekhar’s “Lumina,” and welcomed baritone Thomas Hampson (on the singer’s birthday! 🎂) as the soloist in songs from Mahler’s “Des Knaben Wunderhorn.” Stay tuned for more, including stops in Nanjing and Shanghai!
