The New York Philharmonic is one of the oldest orchestra's in the world, established in 1842 by a group of musicians led by Ureli Correli Hill. The orchestra has conducted over 14,000 concerts lifetime, more than any other, to date. Here, they put on a concert for the citizens of New York City, in the city's famous Central Park. Concertgoers came out in droves, many bringing wine, cheese, and other items to enjoy at the free outdoor concert. The crowd of 80,000 stretched very far back, so speakers were placed throughout the park to pump sound to those out of earshot of the musicians.
Why this for the Daily Photo? I have never attended a public concert on this scale.
