New York has two resident orchestras

There’s the New York Philharmonic at Lincoln Center, as you’d expect.

But across the avenue there’s an unofficial occupancy at Carnegie Hall.

The Philadelphia Orchestra with Yannick Nézet-Séguin is resident in all but name, opening the season, top-billing the galas and effectively establishing itself as the other go-to in Manhattan.
