For more than 180 years, the New York Philharmonic has been making history here in the city we call home. The NY Phil Story: Made in New York is a podcast about the people, the music, and the city behind America’s oldest orchestra. Host Jamie Bernstein takes you backstage and into the archives to hear the untold stories of the Philharmonic–right from the very beginning. Each episode, we’ll go behind the scenes of an iconic performance, speak to current Philharmonic musicians about how they carry on the orchestra’s legacy, and hear the music that inspired it all.

This is a great, great show. I wish there were more podcasts like this that told you about the history of these great music institutions and don’t simply explain the history of a piece of music, as there are so many very good shows about that already. But just telling us how these foundational organizations came to be so deservedly well regarded. Thank you for sharing this.
