Weekend of September 25, 2010

Celebrating the Big Apple

Last Wednesday was opening night for one of the top orchestras in the country: the New York Philharmonic. Alan Gilbert begins his second season as music director. 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.
