New York PhilharmonicThe New York Philharmonic began its annual series of Young People’s Concerts in 1924, led at that time by Ernest Schelling. A pianist and educator, Schelling found ways of bringing the music to life for young audiences, including with his special "magic lantern slides." Schelling’s over 4,000 slides were projected behind the orchestra to illustrate the themes of a concert — this idea of using images to enhance the music is still used in our YPCs to this day!
