The New York Philharmonic

The New York Philharmonic has been in existence since 1842, and their very first concert featured music by Beethoven. They still love to play Beethoven, and they do it so well! On Thursday's Performance Today, we'll hear conductor Alan Gilbert lead the New York Philharmonic in Beethoven's Symphony No. 1.
