Had you been in New York on May 5, had an interest in seeing a top-tier symphonic performance, and had an extra $50-$180 to spend, you might have been seated on one of five levels inside Carnegie Hall to watch and hear fabulous music.

The PBS series "Nature" has presented some memorable wildlife programming over the nearly three decades it has been on the air.
