Yankees' Bernie Williams to Debut at NY Philharmonic

Gustavo Dudamel to lead spring gala featuring Williams, rapper Common, and soprano Hera Hyesang Park.

Former New York Yankees center fielder Bernie Williams will make his New York Philharmonic debut on April 24.
Williams, a five-time All-Star and 1998 American League batting title winner, is a classically trained guitarist with two released recordings.
Future music director Gustavo Dudamel, current music director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, will lead the orchestra's spring gala at Lincoln Center's David Geffen Hall.
Rapper Common and soprano Hera Hyesang Park will also make their philharmonic debuts, performing alongside high school musicians chosen in auditions.
The program, which includes a rehearsal open to music teachers, families of the youth orchestra and the orchestra's community partners, is still being planned.
