Lewisohn Stadium, Outdoor stadium in Manhattan, US
The neo-classical stadium, constructed on a hillside location, accommodated up to 17,000 spectators with its wide amphitheater-style seating arrangement.
Designed by architect Arnold W Brunner, Lewisohn Stadium opened in 1915 as an athletic field for the City College of New York.
The New York Philharmonic performed regular summer concerts at the stadium from 1922 to 1964, introducing classical music to large audiences.
The natural slope of the stadium provided cooling breezes during summer performances, while subway access made transportation convenient for visitors.
Marian Anderson initiated her career at this stadium in 1925, performing with the New York Philharmonic before becoming the first African American lead at Metropolitan Opera.
