NEW YORK, Sept 18 — Following 556 days of pandemic-inflicted cancellations and unconventional concerts, the New York Philharmonic opened its new season yesterday, a “homecoming” for musicians limited to live streams, one-off and outdoor shows for more than a year. After enduring months of...

The pandemic forced the famed symphony orchestra to cancel its 2020-21 season, resulting in more than US$21 million in lost ticket revenues.

Most of the 2021-22 season will be played at two other venues at the Lincoln Centre arts complex on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. “We play 130, 140 concerts a year, and you never take it for granted, but sometimes you think, ‘Oh, I’m a little tired today, I’ve got to play this again’, but not anymore — I feel really such gratitude.”

“But to come back in this space... to have an audience again, that’s the part that really feels like a homecoming.”Yesterday’s show comes days after news broke that Jaap van Zweden, the Phil’s maestro since 2018, will step down after the 2023-24 season. He was isolated from his musicians, prevented for months from travelling to New York due to a ban on European travellers visiting the United States.
