 Greg Sandow -- Carnegie Hall - New York Philharmonic merger
For Robert Harth, executive and artistic director of Carnegie Hall, the merger was "an opportunity for innovative programming." For Zarin Mehta, executive director of the Philharmonic, it was all about his own concerns -- the money, most of all, and the need he sees for orchestras to own the halls they play in.
Harth, by contrast, said the hall was rarely dark, except for 70 nights left empty purposely for maintenance.
The Philharmonic is leaving Lincoln Center; the New York City Opera hopes to leave; a much-debated plan for redevelopment (including the Fisher reconstruction) has been delayed by the economy.

Bootleg Series Volume 6: Concert At Philharmonic Hall chronicles Dylan's development as a folkie up to that point in two discs as spectacular for their insight into the young icon's development as they are for their contrasts to later versions of the same man.
In Concert At Philharmonic Hall, Dylan stands before one of his most discerning audiences with just a guitar and a harmonica, journeying with them through his own then-small catalogue, as well as through old standards.
But the audience has no idea that their hero is about to transform, that this performance at Philharmonic will mark one of the last times they'd hear just voice, guitar, and harmonica.
