Musicians of the NY Philharmonic

100 musicians • one voice

Welcome and thank you for your support as we start the 24/25 season!

Did you know…

Negotiations are underway to restore your New York Philharmonic to top-tier status. Our contract will expire soon and we are all working hard to come to a fair agreement.

For over a decade, our salary and benefits have flatlined and have now fallen nearly 30% below our colleagues at Boston Symphony, Chicago Symphony, and LA Phil. This disparity threatens our ability to attract and retain the world’s finest musicians who bring you the unparalleled performances you expect.

We need your support so we can continue to attract and retain the world’s best musicians to bring you world-class music. With our new David Geffen Hall and Gustavo Dudamel as our next music director, the future is bright. But we must return to a competitive level with our peers to ensure that the transcendent artistry of Maestro Dudamel is paired with the greatest musicians on the planet.

A golden era lies before us—but we must get this right.

Join us in advocating for the future of your New York Philharmonic.
