New York Symphony Orchestra

The New York Symphony Orchestra, established in 1878 by Leopold Damrosch, is a storied ensemble that has long stood as a pillar of classical music in New York City. Known for its vibrant performances of French and Russian works, the orchestra has historically distinguished itself with a repertoire that complements rather than competes with that of its contemporary, the New York Philharmonic. Backed by the patronage of Andrew Carnegie, the orchestra found its home in the iconic Carnegie Hall, a venue renowned for its exquisite acoustics. The New York Symphony Orchestra continues to enchant audiences with its rich musical heritage and dynamic performances.
