New York, Cultural Leadership & Whitehall
A brass quintet from the New York Philharmonic comes to Whitehall for a performance in the Grand Ballroom celebrating the Flagler family’s longstanding connection to New York’s musical life. Harry Harkness Flagler, Henry Flagler’s son, served as president of the New York Symphony Society, which merged with the New York Philharmonic in 1928. He subsequently became president of the combined organization. The program honors this remarkable legacy of cultural leadership and the enduring importance of philanthropy and patronage in American musical life.
