Because the historians among us like this sort of thing as do I.

The Leipzig Gewandhaus has a searchable one here ;
the Vienna Symphony a more limited (1900-present only by date, but also searchable by composer) here ;
the Vienna Philharmonic's is here.

IIRC the New York Philharmonic has a huge archive too which I may edit in later. And others, too...

(The relevance to this site is somewhat more limited to for the Vienna Symphony, but even they performed a fair amount of unsung music between 1900 and 1915, eg, Pick-Mangiagalli's ballade symphonique for piano and orchestra Op.12 and Allegro di Concerto Op.10 + 3 Miniatures in a concert on February 7 1910..)

Thank you. This is exactly the sort of thing I like to explore. The "Staatliches Institut für Musikforschung" (SIM) in Berlin has the "Archiv des Konzertlebens" and the guide to concerts performed in the past "Konzertführer Berlin Brandenburg 1920-2012".
