COMMUNITY
New York’s Philharmonic
There are many ways in which New York’s hometown orchestra contributes to its
community. First and foremost there are the many opportunities for neighbors and
visitors to the city to experience the Philharmonic’s music for free, from the Free
Dress Rehearsal for the Opening Gala Concert (far right, a gift to the city from the
Philharmonic and Global Sponsor Credit Suisse), through the Free Annual Memorial
Day Concert (below, made possible with the support of Anna-Maria and Stephen
Kellen Foundation), to the original and ambitious Concerts in the Parks, Presented by
Didi and Oscar Schafer (bottom, center and inset). As a cultural leader, Alan Gilbert
and the Philharmonic again performed at Carnegie Hall, this time offering the World
Premiere of The Strand Settings, Anders Hillborg’s song cycle comprising poems by
Mark Strand, co-commissioned with that distinguished venue for soprano Renée
Fleming (bottom left). At the other end of the spectrum the Philharmonic Principal
Brass Quintet performed the National Anthem at a New York Giants game (center,
second from bottom).
The Orchestra and its musicians again reacted to local tragedy by offering concert
tickets to those impacted by Hurricane Sandy: by participating in the Major League
Baseball All-Star Charity Concert, and by collecting relief items for Kids in Distressed
Situations, Inc. at a Young People’s Concert (top center); and by organizing groups
of musicians to perform chamber music in affected areas. The players also traveled
to Connecticut for a Healing Newtown Family Concert, modeled on the Orchestra’s
popular Very Young People’s Concerts (center, second from top).

EDUCATION
Inspiration and Illumination for All Ages
Since the Philharmonic Young People’s Concerts series MetLife Foundation is the Lead Corporate Underwriter for the New York Philharmonic’s Education Programs.
began, in 1924, the Orchestra has been a leader in creating
new ways to educate while entertaining, to share the love of
music with future generations.The Orchestra’s contributions
to the community and culture have continued to develop,
leading to the wide array of opportunities to engage with
music, in-depth, through performances, in-school programs,
and probing talks — all are central to the Philharmonic’s
mission today. In the 2012–13 season the Philharmonic’s
education programs served more than 40,000 people in live
events and about 40,000 more per month online.
Onstage for Kids and Teens

Very Young People’s Concerts (ages 3–6):

THE DIGITAL PHILHARMONIC
Projects Online and Beyond
Acting on a commitment to connecting with the largest possible audience, the Philharmonic has explored
a range of digital projects to share its music and expertise with the world. To get a sense of the reach of the
various online activities, during the 2012–13 season the Website received 1.3 million unique visitors; the radio
series was heard by 60 million listeners around the world (plus 360,000 who streamed it through nyphil.org);
450,000 watched the Philharmonic’s Webcasts; and the Orchestra’s online social presence exploded,
with almost a million people engaging with the Philharmonic by August 31, 2013.
The Website, nyphil.org (top), allows users to access program notes in advance, listen to clips of the music,
and watch artists talk about the works they’ll perform; also “View from a Seat” shows the view of the stage, and
tickets can now be printed at home. An insider’s view is shared through virtual tours, musicians’ Q&As, concert
broadcasts, and the newly added What’s New section of the site that shares the latest news. The History section of
the site was revised and expanded, bringing greater awareness and exposure to the Philharmonic’s rich legacy.
In addition to Alan Gilbert and the New York Philharmonic: 2012–13 Season, the self-produced downloads of
concerts available on the Website and from online music stores (bottom, far right), the Orchestra collaborated
with Dacapo Records to release two CDs. The first, selected by The New York Times as one of the Best
Classical Music Recordings of 2012, inaugurated The Nielsen Project, which will eventually capture all the
Danish composer’s symphonies and concertos. The second comprises music that Magnus Lindberg composed
for the Orchestra as its Marie-Josée Kravis Composer-in-Residence (bottom, left).
The Orchestra can also be heard on The New York Philharmonic This Week, the weekly national and
international radio series hosted by actor and Board Member Alec Baldwin, and on Live From
Lincoln Center, which last season televised the Philharmonic’s Opening Gala Concert (September 27),
New Year’s Eve (December 31), and Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Carousel. Webcasts produced in
partnership with medicitv.com share highlights such as the Chinese New Year Concert and the live
streaming of the performance in Dresden’s Volkswagen Transparent Factory that included Magnus
Lindberg’s Kraft. And, for the second time, the Philharmonic produced a film of a dynamic production
for later screenings in movie theaters, with A Dancer’s Dream being released in September 2013. Magnus Lindberg

allowed the Philharmonic’s fans around the globe to interact directly with the Orchestra — and each other.
To inspire and educate future generations, the Philharmonic hosts Kidzone! (nyphilkids.org, the
award-winning interactive Website offering games and information about instruments, composers,
and Philharmonic musicians) and Take Note (nyphil.org/takenote, which provides online resources
for music and classroom teachers including classroom-tested lesson plans, engaging activities, and
instructive videos of Philharmonic musicians).

THE ARCHIVES
In the Hall and Around the World
The New York Philharmonic Archives represents the nexus between the
Orchestra’s legendary past and the future of orchestral music through its
vast collections that go back to its founding in 1842, and its sharing of
that rich material with the world, online for free.
The first phase of the New York Philharmonic’s multi-year initiative to

digitize the Orchestra’s extensive archives — funded by the Leon Levy Left: A sampling of the more than 1.3 million pages of printed
programs, photographs, business correspondence, and marked scores
Foundation — was completed during the 2012–13 season, with 1.3 and orchestral parts now available online for free through the Digital
Archives.

parts. The New York Philharmonic Digital Archives, available online in the Archives and available in the Digital Archives.
at archives.nyphil.org, has received more than 190,000 visitors from 168
countries, and is making possible unprecedented research by scholars
worldwide. The final release of material coincided with the visit to Ann
Arbor on February 23–24, which included a series of talks that used
material from the Digital Archives and reflecting the Philharmonic’s
commitment to extending its role as a resource for the development of
future orchestral musicians and scholars in New York City and globally.
The Digital Archives complements the online Performance History

Search (history.nyphil.org) and the continuing series of archival
exhibitions displayed in Avery Fisher Hall’s Bruno Walter Gallery.
During the 2012–13 season there were two exhibitions about composer
Carl Nielsen in connection with The Nielsen Project: “Inextinguishable”
Nielsen:The Music, Life, and Legacy of the Danish Composer, created jointly
by the Philharmonic Archives and the Odense City Museums, and the
world debut of Carl Nielsen — Music Is Life, the Odense City Museums’
modular exploration of the composer’s personality and compositional
voice through LED light screen images, short movie clips, and music.
Other archival exhibitions included photographer Ernestine Ruben’s
depictions of Philharmonic musicians in Portraits of Sound; Leading Lady:
Helen Huntington Hull and the Women’s Auxiliary; and Designs from the
Studio: Doug Fitch’s Petrushka.

Emanuel Ax was named an Honorary Member of the Philharmonic-Symphony Society of New York on
his 100th Philharmonic performance in 2011 and his partnership with Alan Gilbert and the Orchestra is still
gaining momentum. As the season’s Mary and James G. Wallach Artist-in-Residence, the beloved pianist joined “Emanuel Ax, long a favorite with Philharmonic audiences, brings his poetic

The 2012–13 season’s multiweek festival, made possible with the support of The Kaplen Foundation — the
Philharmonic’s first dedicated to J.S. Bach — reveled in the magnificence of the Baroque master through the

that were complemented by a symposium and a solo cycle, as well as events produced by partner 92nd Street Y.
The result was a multidimensional portrait of the fountainhead who is often cited by the Philharmonic musi- “Mr. Gilbert drew impressive shape and clarity from the players and the
cians as their most inspiring composer. choristers … this was an intelligent, exciting and affecting performance.”

Composer Tributes
The range of repertoire which this Orchestra plays masterfully was reflected in the contrasting
composers whose music was explored during the season. Brahms’s symphonies and concertos were
all performed, as led by four conductors including Lorin Maazel, on January 16 (bottom right),
and his chamber music appeared on all four Saturday Matinee Concerts, and The Nielsen Project
(below), with Alan Gilbert conductor and Robert Langevin as soloist in the Flute Concerto,
October 10 — the multiseason initiative to present and record all of the great Danish composer’s
symphonies and concertos — continued. In addition, the Philharmonic said farewell to Marvin
Hamlisch, the great New York Broadway composer who had himself conducted the Orchestra on
several occasions, in a televised New Year’s Eve tribute (right) on December 31, with, from left,
Raúl Esparza, Kelli O’Hara, Beth Behrs, Josh Groban, Audra McDonald, who also hosted, Brian
d’Arcy James, Maria Friedman, Megan Hilty, and, not in photo, Joshua Bell, Lilla Crawford, and

CONTACT!, the New-Music Series
The Philharmonic has staked a unique place in New York’s new-music scene with CONTACT!,
introduced in 2009. Again, the Orchestra’s musicians traveled up and across town to perform informal

including Composer-in-Residence Christopher Rouse, who advised on the series, and to mingle with
them over a beer after the concerts.

Collaboration
G. Wallach Artist-in-Residence Emanuel Ax
In November 2012 the New York Philharmonic, Shanghai Symphony Orchestra, and the Shanghai
Conservatory of Music announced the New York Philharmonic – Shanghai Symphony Orchestra
Residency and Academy Partnership. “The partnership between the Shanghai Symphony and the New York
Philharmonic is a wonderful way to have music as a common language between two of the world’s greatest
cities,” said Philharmonic Chairman Gary W. Parr.
This agreement for a four-year partnership establishes annual performance residencies by the Philharmonic in
Shanghai through the 2017–18 season as well as the Shanghai Orchestral Academy (SOA). The first New York
Philharmonic performance residency in Shanghai will take place in the summer of 2015. Preparations for the
SOA, which will open in the fall of 2014, have already begun. This education platform to train professional
orchestral musicians on the highest level will offer a Master of Fine Arts as well as an exclusive opportunity to
serve apprenticeships with world-renowned orchestras including the New York Philharmonic and Shanghai
Symphony Orchestra. Philharmonic musicians will serve on the faculty, involving travel to Shanghai each
semester to set up individual teaching plans for students, give lessons, and lead master classes; the students’
development will be monitored regularly via real-time online classes and performance assessments.

Philharmonic Galas
The season was punctuated with three glamorous galas. The Opening Gala Concert (September 27),
conducted by Alan Gilbert, kicked off the season in style, thanks in great part to the virtuosity of the
evening’s soloist, Philharmonic Board Member and legendary violinist Itzhak Perlman. In the second
annual Chinese New Year Gala (February 12), Long Yu again conducted a mix of Western classical
masterpieces and some of today’s most exciting music coming from China. “An Enchanted Evening with
Paulo Szot,” the Spring Gala (June 4), featured the popular baritone serenading leading ladies of Broadway
and television while Ted Sperling conducted the Orchestra.
“The Philharmonic’s ‘new tradition of
celebrating the Chinese New Year’ …
was a pleasure from first note to last. …
[T]he orchestra was in flawless fettle.”

SEASON HIGHLIGHT
Tour and Travel
The New York Philharmonic’s global presence, which began in 1920, continued in the 2013–14 season with
the EUROPE / SPRING 2013 tour, May 2–17. Beginning as far east as one can go on that continent with
a visit to Turkey — with its first return to Istanbul in 18 years and its debut in Izmir — Alan Gilbert and the
musicians performed in some of the cultural capitals of the wellspring of the orchestral tradition, including a
visit to Global Sponsor Credit Suisse’s home in Zurich and a two-concert celebration of the centennial of
Vienna’s historic Konzerthaus. Along the way they introduced Europeans to some of the exciting projects
they have been developing at home, including the results of partnerships with The Marie-Josée Kravis
Composer-in-Residence (represented by the European premiere of Christopher Rouse’s Prospero’s Rooms),
The Mary and James G. Wallach Artist-in-Residence (with pianist Emanuel Ax sharing his beloved approach
to Mozart), and distinguished friends such as violinist Joshua Bell and cellist Jan Vogler appearing as soloists. A
highpoint was the immersive performance, at Volkswagen’s Transparent Factory in Dresden, of Magnus Lindberg’s
raucous Kraft — an event that was Webcast live — following the series of groundbreaking events that have been
a hallmark of the Gilbert era at the Philharmonic.
Other travels in the season included the

weekend in Ann Arbor, February 23–24,
which featured two performances and the
announcement of the completion of the first
phase of the Philharmonic Digital Archives,
made possible by the generous support of the
Leon Levy Foundation (see page 11); the 11th
annual residency at the Bravo! Vail festival, Highlights of the Philharmonic’s travels included (clockwise from top right) the
July 19–26; and visits to Long Island University’s performance of Magnus Lindberg’s Kraft in Dresden’s Volkswagen Transparent
Factory; the first return to Istanbul in 18 years, where a group of musicians visited
Tilles Center for the Performing Arts in the Blue Mosque; a trimphant concert in Zurich’s Tonhalle; as well as the visit to
Bravo! Vail that featured a project with students in the Very Young Composers of
Brookville, New York (June 7) and the New Vail program, spearheaded by Philharmonic Young Composers’ Advocate Jon Deak
Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark, (standing, far left), and performances at the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater.

design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation
of the financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted
our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment
of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making
those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the organization’s preparation and
fair presentation of the financial statements, in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the organization’s
internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the
appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
audit opinion.

Accrued vacation: Advertising:

The Society’s employees are entitled to be paid for unused vacation time if they leave the Society’s employ. The Society expenses the costs of advertising as they are incurred.
Accordingly, at each fiscal year-end, the Society must recognize a liability for the amount that would be
incurred if employees with such unused vacation were to leave. At August 31, 2013 and 2012, this accrued Volunteers:

NOTE 2 - INVESTMENTS CONTINUED
The FASB’s ASC Topic 820-10-05 establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy of fair-value measurements. The Society’s investments in these types of funds are valued based on the valuation policies and procedures
These valuation techniques are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect of the general partner or manager and reviewed by the Society’s Investment Committee of the Board of
market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions. These Directors. The Investment Committee performs oversight of the underlying investment managers’ material
two types of inputs create the following fair-value hierarchy: positions both on an investment level and from a risk perspective. The Investment Committee is also
responsible for ensuring that investments are valued according to the policies and procedures adopted by

Level 3: Valuations are based on pricing inputs that are unobservable and includes situations
where (i) there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability, or (ii) the underlying
investments of which could not be independently valued, or (iii) they cannot be immediately
redeemed at or near the fiscal year-end.
Most investments classified in Levels 2 and 3 consist of ownership shares or units in investment funds as
opposed to direct interests in the funds’ underlying holdings, which may be marketable. Because the net asset
value reported by each fund is used as a practical expedient to estimate fair value of the Society’s interest
therein, its classification in Level 3 is based on the Society’s ability to redeem its interest at or near year-end. If
the interest can be redeemed in the near term, the investment is classified as Level 2.
The FASB provides accounting guidance on measuring the fair value of certain investments such as private
equity funds, fund of funds, and hedge funds, to offer investors a practical expedient for measuring the fair
value of investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value (“NAV”). Under that practical expedient,
entities are permitted to use NAV without adjustment for certain investments that qualified under the
guidance. The Society’s investments in funds fitting this description, classified within Level 3 of the fair-value
hierarchy, are carried at fair value based on NAV. Investments in these types of funds are subject to withdrawal
restrictions, and, for these Level 3 investments, the Society does not have the ability to withdraw at reported
NAV at August 31, 2013 or within a reasonable period of time.

NOTE 5 - PENSION PLANS
The Society maintains two defined-benefit pension plans, one for members of the orchestra and one for The primary objective of the plans’ trustees is to provide a balance among capital appreciation, preservation of
office employees. The Society’s funding policy is to contribute funds to a trust as necessary to provide capital, and the production of current income. The plans’ trustees recognize that risk (i.e., the uncertainty of future

The Society has a policy of appropriating an annual distribution of 5.0% of its endowment funds’ average
fair value over the prior 12 quarters through March 31 of the year preceding the fiscal year in which the
distribution is planned. In establishing this policy, management has considered the long-term expected return
on the endowment assets. Accordingly, over the long term, management expects the current spending policy
to maintain the purchasing power of the endowment assets held in perpetuity or for a specified term, as well as
to provide additional real growth through new gifts and investment returns.

NOTE 12 - CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Society to concentrations of credit risk consist principally
of cash that is deposited in financial institutions in amounts which, from time to time, may exceed federal
insurance limits. However, management believes that the Society does not face a significant risk of loss on
these accounts.
NOTE 13 - COMPARISON TO INTERNAL OPERATING MEASURE

For fiscal-years 2013 and 2012, the unrestricted deficiency of operating income over operating expenses, as
reported in the accompanying statements of activities, differs from the operating measures used for internal-
reporting purposes for several reasons, including the alternative treatment of certain income and expense
items. A reconciliation of these two measurement processes is as follows:
2013 2012
Deficiency of unrestricted operating income

over operating expenses $ (6,356) $ (2,750)
Unrestricted gifts functioning as endowment (117) (1,465)
Deferred marketing expenses (62) 124
Endowment fund-raising expenses 262 243
Gilbert Instrument Purchase 125
Postretirement benefit cost 142 144
Operating measure for internal-reporting purposes $ (6,131) $ (3,579)
