Philharmonic-Symphony Orchestra Of New York

Up to 1928, the two New York orchestras [a=New York Philharmonic Orchestra] and [a=New York Symphony Orchestra] were operating independently. In 1928, they merged and took the new name: Philharmonic-Symphony Orchestra Of New York (P-SONY). The first and last concert under P-SONY was on October 4, 1928 and on May 12, 1957 respectively. After this date, the orchestra made an intentional name change into [a=New York Philharmonic] (NYP). The first concert as NYP was on October 12, 1957, coinciding with Leonard Bernstein becoming conductor. For recordings from the P-SONY era, but issued later with NYP as artist: just credit NYP with ANV "as on release" if necessary - no need to credit P-SONY. The legal entity behind the orchestra is called [l1158747]. Use this credit for label and company roles.
