Harmonie Ensemble/New York is a musical organization based in New York City that performs and records an eclectic repertoire ranging from classical to jazz. Founded in 1979 by its conductor, Steven Richman, HE/NY has performed orchestra, chamber orchestra, symphonic jazz, big band, chamber, and wind ensemble works in virtually all of New York's concert halls, including Carnegie Hall, Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center, Merkin Concert Hall, and St. Peter's Church ("The Jazz Church"), and throughout the United States under Columbia Artists Management. It also appears on radio and television. HE/NY has won numerous awards, including the Classical Recording Foundation Award[1] in Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center Community Arts Project,[2] and the WQXR Action for the Arts Award,[2] as well as a Grammy nomination.[3]

HE/NY has given the U.S., New York, and world premieres of works by Handel, Stravinsky, Shostakovich, Nino Rota, Brahms, Copland, Mussorgsky, Grofé, and Krommer, the premiere of Dvořák's Octet-Serenade, and the first performances in more than 50 years of Gershwin’s original symphonic orchestrations (researched by Richman) at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. One of the latter events drew the largest audience in the history of Lincoln Center (10,000 people) in Damrosch Park. HE/NY also presented the first fireworks concert at Lincoln Center, marking Handel's 300th Birthday, and a Leonard Bernstein 70th Birthday Concert, which received a letter of commendation from New York City Mayor Ed Koch.

Dvořák Day Concerts

Beginning in 1994, under Richman, the ensemble presented a series of benefit concerts[4][5][6][7][8][9][10]{{overcite|date=January 2019}} to place a statue of Czech composer Antonín Dvořák in Stuyvesant Square Park, New York City, across the street from where Dvořák lived from 1892-95 while director of the National Conservatory of Music. Among the guest artists were the Guarneri String Quartet, bass-baritone William Warfield, and Czech soprano Eva Urbanová. It later presented the annual Dvořák Day Concerts featuring both American and Czech artists. The first concert, on September 13, 1997, was in conjunction with the dedication of the Dvořák Statue in Stuyvesant Square Park. Featured was a performance of the Symphony No. 9, “From the new world,” in St. George's Church, across the park from where it was composed at 327 E. 17th Street. The event also featured violinist Josef Suk, Dvořák's great-grandson, performing Dvořák's Sonatina for Violin and Piano, also composed in the 17th St. house. Among the many honored guests were members of the Dvořák family, the Lord Mayor of Prague, and filmmaker Milos Forman.

Musical Anniversary Celebration Concerts

Among the ensemble's birthday celebration concerts have been events devoted to Gershwin, Dvořák, Stravinsky, Toscanini, Handel, Bernstein, Morton Gould, Duke Ellington, Harry Burleigh (Dvořák's assistant), William Walton, Rota, Claude Thornhill, Benny Goodman, and Gershwin's associate, Kay Swift.

Recordings

The ensemble's 14 CDs under Richman range from a Toscanini 150th Anniversary Tribute to Gershwin original orchestrations, works by Dvořák, Copland (featured in the Ken Burns documentary The National Parks), and Stravinsky (for which it received a Grammy Award nomination in 2002), as well as Henry Mancini’s Music From Peter Gunn, the Duke Ellington/Billy Strayhorn jazz band version of the Nutcracker Suite (paired with Tchaikovsky's original Nutcracker Suite), and the Miles Davis/Gil Evans Sketches of Spain with trumpet soloist Lew Soloff. Among its recording premieres are works by Dvořák, Stravinsky, Gershwin, Grofé, Copland, and Krommer. The CDs have been issued worldwide on the Harmonia Mundi [PIAS], Bridge Records, Koch, Sheffield Lab, and Music & Arts labels.
