Although the present Brooklyn Philharmonic was founded in 1954, Brooklyn has hosted other notable orchestras in its history. The Brooklyn Philharmonic claims to be "one of the oldest living orchestras in the New World," but it has no organizational connection to the now-defunct Philharmonic Society of Brooklyn, with which it existed concurrently for almost thirty years.

“There is no history of how bad became better.”
