 New York orchestras in early 20th century?

Does anybody happen to know approximately how many orchestras there were in New York City in the early 20th century? The period I most need to know about is 1914-1916. I don't need particulars; I just need to know whether there were more than one or two professional or advanced amateur orchestras that needed at least two clarinet players and could have handled big, symphonic pieces such as the Berlioz Symphonie Fantastique.

I'm asking because I've set an extended flashback for a short story in New York City during the period when WWI was starting but the USA hadn't yet declared war. The New York Philharmonic wouldn't work for this story and neither would any opera orchestra. I need to make up a fictional orchestra. Plausible? Not?
