New York Philharmonic 2025-26 Season Info
The New York Philharmonic’s 2025–26 season marks a pivotal moment under the leadership of Gustavo Dudamel, who joins as Music & Artistic Director Designate before officially beginning his tenure in the 2026–27 season. Over six dynamic weeks of performances, Dudamel will introduce his artistic vision through a mix of beloved classics and fresh commissions as part of a season themed around the “American Experiment,” exploring 250 years of U.S. history through music — from Indigenous roots and protest traditions to reflections on value and freedom. He also continues his commitment to innovation with a cross-commissioned project in partnership with the LA Philharmonic.
2025–26 also welcomes the acclaimed cellist Sheku Kanneh‑Mason as the Mary & James G. Wallach Artist-in-Residence. He will appear in two subscription programs as well as an Artist Spotlight recital, showcasing both solo and orchestral highlights of his virtuosic artistry. Meanwhile, the season’s programming offers something for every listener — whether you’re drawn to orchestral favorites, world premieres, film scores, gala events, or immersive family concerts, the Philharmonic delivers a richly varied musical experience.
Adding to the excitement, a major new choral–orchestral work titled Earth Between Oceans by composer Ellen Reid will receive its New York premiere on April 30–May 2, 2026. This co-commission with the LA Philharmonic brings a fresh and timely voice to the season and reinforces Dudamel’s vision of cultivating contemporary compositions that engage deeply with both artistry and purpose.

About New York Philharmonic
The New York Philharmonic, formally known as the Philharmonic–Symphony Society of New York, is the oldest major symphony orchestra in the United States, founded in 1842 by musician Ureli Corelli Hill. Over its rich history, the orchestra has evolved into one of the world’s most distinguished ensembles, deeply woven into the fabric of American cultural life.
Since moving to David Geffen Hall at Lincoln Center (formerly Avery Fisher Hall) in 1962, the Philharmonic has had a prominent home for its performances in Manhattan. The recent renovation of the hall significantly enhanced both acoustics and audience experience, introducing a more intimate design, improved sound clarity, and inviting social spaces.
Throughout its existence, the Philharmonic has not only showcased orchestral excellence but also leadership in community outreach and multimedia innovation. From Leonard Bernstein’s Young People’s Concerts (1958–72) — which brought orchestral music into homes across America via television — to the Naumburg Concerts in Central Park, the Philharmonic has been a pioneer in accessibility and engagement for all New Yorkers.
