Obituary
The New York Philharmonic deeply mourns the passing, on April 3, of Albert K. “Nick” Webster, a longtime leader of the organization (1962-71 and, as Managing Director, 1975-90). During his tenure the Philharmonic grew artistically and financially thanks to his commitment to the highest artistic and business standards. His legacy includes the formation of the Volunteer Council, and he was involved in the creation of the Concerts in the Parks.
Published in New York Times
“A lion of the orchestra field and a lamb of a man, he will be greatly missed.”
