The world-famous orchestra takes a step out of the pandemic dark by performing in public Wednesday for the first time since March 2020.

Music from the New York Philharmonic poured over a live audience for the first time since going dark last March. Members of the orchestra performed a special outdoor concert in New York City for 120 health care workers. Lincoln Center CEO Henry Timms says they were the perfect first audience. “All of us in the artistic community, all of us as New Yorkers, we owe such a debt to the health care community.”

Trombonist Colin Williams says it sounded like, “A little bit of light at the end of the tunnel.” The Philharmonic will keep sharing that light during some 100 open-air concerts and graduations. Carmen Roberts. Fox News.

The New York Philharmonic hopes to resume subscription performances in September.
