Carnegie Hall New York
They say that every musician dreams of playing Carnegie, and the list of those who have realized that dream is impressive. Opened in 1891 with a concert of music from Tchaikovsky, conducted by the composer himself, Carnegie Hall has played host to some of the greatest musical geniuses that the world has known, and has provided the setting for some extraordinary musical moments.

Carnegie Hall actually has three separate performance areas. The Isaac Stern Auditorium, which seats 2800, has not only hosted concerts, but speeches, religious services and political events. The Joan and Sanford I. Weill Recital Hall located on the third floor of Carnegie Hall, is an intimate auditorium with seats for 268 guests to enjoy recitals, chamber music concerts, classes and more. When it first opened its doors In 1891, Carnegie Hall was made up of three auditoriums: the Main Hall, the Chamber Music Hall, and the Recital Hall, located underneath the Main Hall. The Recital Hall had been leased to third parties for nearly all of the Carnegie Hall's history, but has recently been renovated. With 600 seats, the Judy and Arthur Zankel Hall is the site of a broad spectrum of events.

Tours of Carnegie Hall are given on weekdays and each of the halls is available for private rental.
