About the Performers
The New York Philharmonic, one of the leading world orchestras, was founded in 1842 by the American conductor Ureli Corelli Hill, with the aid of the Irish composer William Vincent Wallace. The first concert of the Philharmonic Society took place on December 7, 1842 in the Apollo Rooms on lower Broadway before an audience of 600. It is the oldest major symphony orchestra in the United States in continual existence and one of the oldest in the world.
Jaap van Zweden began his tenure as the 26th Music Director of the New York Philharmonic in September 2018. He also serves as Music Director of the Hong Kong Philharmonic, a post he has held since 2012, and becomes Music Director of the Seoul Philharmonic in 2024. He has conducted orchestras on three continents, appearing as guest with, in Europe, the Orchestre de Paris, Amsterdam's Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, Vienna Philharmonic, Berlin Philharmonic, and London Symphony Orchestra, and, in the United States, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, The Cleveland Orchestra, Los Angeles Philharmonic, and other distinguished ensembles.
With the start of the 2000-01 season, Robert Langevin joined the New York Philharmonic as Principal Flute. Prior to the Philharmonic, Langevin held the Principal Flute Chair of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. Langevin served as associate principal of the Montreal Symphony Orchestra for 13 years, playing on more than 30 recordings.
The New York Philharmonic has established the New York Philharmonic Chorus to mark the opening of the new David Geffen Hall in the 2022-23 season. Malcolm J. Merriweather, a Grammy-nominated conductor and baritone, is preparing the New York Philharmonic Chorus for all of its appearances in the Orchestra's 2022-23 season. He has conducted ensembles in venues including Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and Madison Square Garden in New York, as well as at Westminster Abbey in London and the Vatican, before Pope Francis. As a baritone, Merriweather, has appeared as soloist throughout the United States and premiered dozens of contemporary solo works.
