"Another Opening, Another Show." Those immortal Cole Porter lyrics for Kiss Me, Kate could stand as the rallying cry for hundreds of cities throughout the nation as America's symphony orchestras embark on their new seasons. Here in New York the New York Philharmonic, the oldest in the country, has been inaugurating a new season each year since 1842.

Generally it has been the custom of Live From Lincoln Center to bring the season's opening concert into the homes of viewers around the world. This year is a little different. One week after the inaugural subscription concerts of 2012-2013 the Philharmonic is playing a Gala, with Itzhak Perlman as guest artist: It is that concert, on the evening of September 27, that will mark the opening of our new Live From Lincoln Center season and the start of Alan Gilbert's fourth as the Philharmonic's Music Director.  Click here to see more.
