Celebrating the Big Apple
Tonight is opening night for one of the top orchestras in the country: the New York Philharmonic. Alan Gilbert begins his second season as music director. Host Fred Child will be there, as part of public television's "Live from Lincoln Center" series. To celebrate, we've got an all-New York hour of PT, including a highlight from last season. Alan Gilbert leads the New York Philharmonic in two movements from Mahler's Third Symphony, from a concert last September, on Gilbert's second day as music director. Plus, performances from the 92nd Street Y and New York's Columbia University.
