The New York Philharmonic will open its doors to the public on Wednesday, September 16, 2009, at 9:45 a.m. for a free Open Rehearsal for the evening's concert, which will launch the Orchestra's 168th season, Alan Gilbert's inaugural season as the Philharmonic's 25th Music Director. The program will feature EXPO, a World Premiere-New York Philharmonic Commission by Magnus Lindberg, the Philharmonic's new Composer-in-Residence; Messiaen's Poèmes pour Mi, performed by soprano Renée Fleming; and Berlioz's Symphonie fantastique. Further details about the New York Philharmonic's free Open Rehearsal and Opening Night will be announced.

Please note that the free Open Rehearsal replaces the previously announced Philharmonic Open Day, scheduled for Saturday, September 12, 2009, which has been postponed to a future season due to budgetary constraints resulting from the current economic climate.
