Item Description
Bid for a voucher for two (2) orchestra tickets to the Westchester Philharmonics 2016-2017 Season at Purchase College.
Now in its 31st season, the Westchester Philharmonic is the oldest, continuously running professional symphony orchestra and largest performing arts organization in Westchester County. The Philharmonic's main stage concert series makes its home at the 1,300 seat Concert Hall at the Purchase Performing Arts Center, as well as outdoor concerts, chamber concerts, children's programs, and special events throughout the area, attracting savvy music-lovers from Westchester, Fairfield, Rockland, Putnam, and Bergen counties, New York City, and beyond.
In November 2013 the Philharmonic proudly announced the concurrent appointments of Jaime Laredo and Ted Sperling as the orchestra's Principal Conductors, commencing with the 2014-15 season.
Founded in 1983 as the New Orchestra of Westchester under the leadership of Music Director Paul Lustig Dunkel (who became Music Director Emeritus in 2008), the orchestra was later re-named the Westchester Philharmonic. Renowned artists who have performed with the Phil include Joshua Bell, Jeremy Denk, Leon Fleisher, Marvin Hamlisch, Jennifer Koh, Jaime Laredo, Raymond Leppard, Norm Lewis, Cho-Liang Lin, Branford Marsalis, Midori, Brian Stokes Mitchell, Kelli O'Hara, Garrick Ohlsson, Itzhak Perlman, Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg, Peter Serkin, Gil Shaham, Isaac Stern, André Watts, and Alisa Weilerstein.
New works commissioned and premiered by the Westchester Philharmonic have included Melinda Wagner's Concerto for Flute, Strings and Percussion, which won the Pulitzer Prize in 1999; Thracian Echoes by Derek Bermel in 2003; The Yellow Wind by Tamar Muskal in 2005; and Terra Terribilis by Laura Kaminsky in 2007. A new commission by Christopher Theofanidis is scheduled for debut during the 2015 – 2016 season.
