(New York Philharmonic)
Programs
NY, Philharmonic-Symphony Society of New York, 1933-1937. 39 programs for performances of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra, from 1933-1937. 24 are for performances at Carnegie Hall; 15 are for summer performances at Lewisohn Stadium. The 24 Carnegie Hall programs date from 1933-1936: 22 of them are from the 94th Season, and half of these feature Toscanini conducting (the other two are from the 92nd and 95th seasons). The 15 Lewisohn Stadium programs ("Stadium Concerts Reviews") date mostly from 1935-1937 (with one from 1933). Some of these bear notations, but are near fine or better in stapled wrappers. The condition of the Carnegie Hall programs is more mixed: about half are near fine; one has insect damage; one is missing half of the first page; a few are dirty; and several have notations, including the March 5-6, 1936 program with a cover that bears the words "Performance Cancelled; Requiem Not Performed."
