Philadelphia Orch and NY Phil Performances after JFK Death


Recommended Posts

I have had the CBS News real-time coverage of the JFK assassination playing in the background this weekend. I see that on Saturday night there was a Philadelphia Orchestra performance, and on Sunday the New York Philharmonic. Does anyone know what was played? I have searched online and cannot find any info. Thanks in advance.

Sometime this week I saw a link somewhere to a performance by an orchestra shortly after Kennedy's death, playing the slow movement from Beethoven's third symphony, iirc. I don't recall which orchestra, or the exact date of the performance. It may have been something I saw on Reddit. FWIW.
