Renowned artists who have performed with the Phil include Joshua Bell, Jeremy Denk, Leon Fleisher, Marvin Hamlisch, Jennifer Koh, Jaime Laredo, Raymond Leppard, Norm Lewis, Cho-Liang Lin, Branford Marsalis, Midori, Brian Stokes Mitchell, Kelli O'Hara, Garrick Ohlsson, Itzhak Perlman, Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg, Peter Serkin, Gil Shaham, Isaac Stern, André Watts, and Alisa Weilerstein.

A new commission by Christopher Theofanidis is scheduled for debut on October 18, 2015. The orchestra's award-winning education program reaches thousands of elementary school students each year with classroom programs and a culminating concert with full orchestra at the Concert Hall. The Phil also partners with Westchester County government and local organizations to present free and low-cost concerts and subsidized seating at main stage concerts throughout the season, welcoming hundreds of area residents each year who might not otherwise have an opportunity to attend due to financial or physical limitations, or other barriers.
