The New York Symphony Orchestra was founded as the New York Symphony Society in New York City by Leopold Damrosch in 1878. For many years it was a fierce rival to the older Philharmonic Symphony Society of New York (New York Philharmonic). It was supported by Andrew Carnegie who built Carnegie Hall (opened in 1891) expressly for the orchestra. The Symphony was known for performing more colorful French and Russian works than the Philharmonic, which excelled in German repertoire.

Upon his death in 1885, Leopold Damrosch was succeeded as musical director by his son Walter Damrosch.

In 1903, during a reorganization, it was renamed the New York Symphony Orchestra, and its first recordings were made that year as the "Damrosch Orchestra" for Columbia Records (of which only one was commercially issued, the prelude to Georges Bizet's Carmen). In 1920 it became the first American orchestra to tour Europe, and radio broadcasts of its concerts began in 1923. In 1928, the orchestra merged with the Philharmonic Society of New York to form the Philharmonic-Symphony Society of New York, later the New York Philharmonic.

In popular culture

"The New York Symphony" is the name of the fictional orchestra in the television series Mozart in the Jungle.

In the comedic sitcom series Brooklyn Nine-Nine and in the episode House Mouses, a fictional oboist named John William Weichselbraun is a part of the New York Symphony Orchestra.

[es] Sociedad de la Orquesta Sinfónica de Nueva York

La Sociedad de la Orquesta Sinfónica de Nueva York (en inglés "New York Symphony Society") fue una orquesta fundada en Nueva York por Leopold Damrosch en 1878. Durante muchos años fue un fiero rival de la más antigua Sociedad de la Orquesta Filarmónica de Nueva York. Contó con el apoyo de Andrew Carnegie quien construyó el Carnegie Hall (abierto en 1891) expresamente para la orquesta. La Sinfónica fue destacada por interpretar la música francesa y rusa de una manera más colorista que la Filarmónica, la cual sobresalía al interpretar música alemana.
