New York Philharmonic

After an adventurous week (complete with an avant-garde operatic premiere), the Phil turns to pop-facing fare. From May 14–16, guest conductor George Daugherty leads the program, "Bugs Bunny at the Symphony" (in which the musicians play the music of classic Warner Bros. cartoons like What’s Opera, Doc?, Rabbit of Seville, Corny Concerto and Rhapsody Rabbit alongside live projections). On May 19, the Phil celebrates half a century of its "Concerts in the Parks" series with an indoor set of pieces by Beethoven, Copland and Tchaikovsky.
