Alan Gilbert
Our popular Saturday Matinees are more than just concerts, they’re triple features. This season, each concert begins with a chamber music gem by Franz Schubert performed by Philharmonic musicians (and, on June 16, Alan Gilbert on violin), followed by a performance starring the full New York Philharmonic. An entertaining and engaging panel discussion with Philharmonic musicians completes the afternoon.
