Alan,

This is an easy one.  Just go to:

http://archives.nyphil.org/

and search for dates, whatever.  The New York Philharmonic has done a great
job of posting their historical data.  In many cases you can pull up the
actual paper programs for their concerts.  It's a wealth of info for free,
and more accurate than the several books that contain similar info.
