Making Of: Concerts in the Parks

Ever wonder what goes into putting on a Philharmonic-scale outdoor performance in an iconic location like Central Park for thousands of fans? Central Park Conservancy gives you a backstage pass with Music in the Making; a photo documentary that shines some light on all of the preparation and hard work that goes into orchestrating these events.

Talk a walk backstage (and watch out for the wires!).

Backstage Pass

Take a glimpse at history in the making. This is a peek at the New York Philharmonic rehearsal of Stockhausen’s Gruppen, the three-orchestra centerpiece of Philharmonic 360, a co-presentation with Park Avenue Armory. The performances this Friday and Saturday mark the Philharmonic’s first at the Armory since 1882 and its first performance of Gruppen ever.
