The orchestra was created under the name Philharmonic Society of Independence and Freedom (English Philharmonic Society of Independence and Freedom). Its first president was Yureli Corelli Hill, who also opened the orchestra’s first concert on December 7, 1842 as a conductor with a performance of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony; during the three-hour program, other numbers were conducted by Henry Timm and Denis Etienne. During the first years of the orchestra’s existence, it was constantly conducted by seven different conductors, and the orchestra itself was organized as a kind of cooperative: the main issues, including the choice of repertoire and conductor for this concert, were decided by voting, and the proceeds were divided among the orchestra members at the end of the season. Among the most significant events of this period in the history of the orchestra is the American premiere of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony in 1846; this work was firmly included in the repertoire of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra — curiously, in 1865 The Ninth Symphony was performed in a concert in memory of the recently murdered Abraham Lincoln without the last movement, since the final “Ode to Joy” was considered inappropriate in the circumstances of mourning.The merit of bringing the orchestra to a more thorough professional level belongs to the German conductors Theodor Thomas and Anton Seidl, who headed it at the end of the XIX century. The first major world premiere performed by the orchestra — Antonin Dvorak’s Symphony “From the New World” (December 16, 1893, Carnegie Hall, conducted by Seidl) belongs to this time, in particular.

The next major milestone in the history of the orchestra can be considered 1909, when it gained a solid financial base: the guarantee committee created by New York patrons allowed to increase the number of concerts in the season from 18 to 54 and invite a world-famous first magnitude composer and conductor Gustav Mahler (who replaced the Russian conductor Vasily Safonov) to lead the orchestra.

In 1917, the orchestra made its first audio recording. The next decade was marked by the struggle for the popularization of the orchestra and academic music in general: a special cycle of concerts with inexpensive tickets was opened, in 1924 a special program of youth concerts began, since 1920 conductor and composer Henry Hadley was invited to enrich the repertoire with works by American composers.

In 1928, the orchestra was merged with another major collective — the orchestra of the New York Symphony Society; the combined orchestra was headed by one of the world’s greatest conductors, Arturo Toscanini. In the same year, the concerts of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra began in radio broadcasts, which lasted for 38 years. At the turn of the 1950s and 60s, already under the direction of Leonard Bernstein, the orchestra began systematic television concerts. Bernstein also initiated a significant strengthening of the orchestra’s connection with contemporary composers, culminating in 1971. an invitation to one of the leaders of the world musical avant-garde Pierre Boulez to lead the orchestra.
