The New York Philharmonic, founded in 1842 as the Philharmonic Society of New York, is the oldest symphony orchestra in the United States. It has a rich history of music directors, including Ureli Corelli Hill, Henry Timm, and Leonard Bernstein, among others. The orchestra transitioned from a musician-operated cooperative to a corporate management structure in 1909 to ensure financial stability. It merged with New York's National Symphony Orchestra in 1921 and with the New York Symphony Society in 1928. In 1957, the orchestra adopted its current name, "The New York Philharmonic Orchestra." The orchestra moved to its current home at Philharmonic Hall, now known as David Geffen Hall, in 1962. The last concert as the Philharmonic Society of New York was on May 12, 1957, and the first concert as the New York Philharmonic was on October 12, 1957. The legal entity behind the orchestra is not specified.
