The New York Philharmonic tomorrow night, November 19, will present its first-ever virtual gala, NY Phil ❤️ NYC, at 7 p.m. EST.

This free broadcast will be available at nyphil.org/virtualgala and on the Philharmonic’s Facebook and YouTube pages; following its premiere, it will remain available on-demand through December 1.

 

Unless they mean Guitar Williams, banker Williams, comedian Williams, or any other of the score of niche Williamses, I think it might be our John T.

Of course they are referring to THE Maestro John Williams. He has conducted the NY Philharmonic before; it is cool that he will be part of this virtual gala. Being a native New Yorker myself, having been born in Long Island, I will definitely watch this.

That's rather late over here. I hope someone can record the Williams bit for posterity!

It's probably Harry Gregson-Williams.

Williams just gave a ~10 second snippet about the value of the NYPhil amidst a quick succession of other talking heads like John Lithgow, Katie Couric, and Michael Bloomberg. Nothing essential, at least not so far. Viewable here:

Seated on the same couch, next to those bound copies of ROTS score as the RSA award vid yesterday.

Time stamps with the Maestro's remarks on the NY Philharmonic: 21:00 & 47:50. The whole gala was really great.
