Carnegie Hall, Performance venue in Midtown Manhattan, United States
Carnegie Hall contains three performance spaces: the 2,804-seat Stern Auditorium, 599-seat Zankel Hall, and 268-seat Weill Recital Hall, each with specific acoustic properties.
Industrialist Andrew Carnegie funded the construction of this Renaissance Revival concert hall, which opened in 1891 under architect William Tuthill's design specifications.
The venue presents approximately 250 performances each season, ranging from classical orchestras and solo recitals to jazz ensembles and contemporary musicians.
Located at 881 Seventh Avenue between West 56th and 57th Streets, the hall offers guided tours that explain its architecture and musical legacy.
The concert hall survived demolition threats in the 1950s through a campaign led by violinist Isaac Stern, leading to its purchase by New York City in 1960.
