  New York Philharmonic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The New York Philharmonic is the oldest symphony orchestra in the United States.
In 1928 the Philharmonic Symphony Society (as it was still officially known) merged with its longtime rival New York Symphony Orchestra to form the Philharmonic-Symphony Orchestra of New York, and would later acquire its current name of New York Philharmonic.
From 1937 to 1954 the Philharmonic had a new rival: the NBC Symphony Orchestra, which was also based in New York, had former Philharmonic conductor Arturo Toscanini as its director and paid higher salaries, enabling it to hire many of the best musicians in America.
