Carnegie Hall
For music lovers worldwide, Carnegie Hall is the ultimate musical destination, an international byword for excellence, and an institution whose rich history chronicles the defining moments of so many of the world’s most admired and beloved artists.
“It is probable that this hall will intertwine itself with the history of our country,” said Andrew Carnegie in 1890, when he laid the cornerstone of the building that would become Carnegie Hall. He lived to see his words come true, since within 25 years Carnegie Hall became one of the world’s most important stages—not only for great music, but also for theater, dance, and the exchange of ideas.
Three Great Stages, One Great Hall
 Isaac Stern Auditorium / Ronald O. Perelman Stage 2,804 Seats |
Isaac Stern Auditorium / Ronald O. Perelman Stage
The largest hall at Carnegie Hall has been the premier classical music performance space in the United States since its opening in 1891, showcasing the world's greatest soloists, conductors, and ensembles. The hall was dedicated the Isaac Stern Auditorium in 1996, and the stage was dedicated the Ronald O. Perelman Stage in 2006. Throughout its century-plus history, the space has been the forum for important jazz events, historic lectures, noted educational forums, and much more. Designed by architect and cellist William Burnett Tuthill and renovated in 1986, the auditorium's striking curvilinear design allows the stage to become a focal point embraced by five levels of seating, which accommodates up to 2,804. The auditorium's renowned acoustics have made it a favorite of audiences and performers alike. "It has been said that the hall itself is an instrument," said the late Isaac Stern. "It takes what you do and makes it larger than life."
 Joan and Sanford I. Weill Recital Hall 268 Seats |
Joan and Sanford I. Weill Recital Hall
Located on the third floor of Carnegie Hall, the Joan and Sanford I. Weill Recital Hall is an intimate auditorium ideal for recitals, chamber music concerts, symposia, discussions, master classes, and more. Seating 268 people, the elegant auditorium evokes a Belle Epoque salon and is "remarkable for the symmetry of its proportions and the beauty of its decorations," according to a review from 1891, when the hall was known as the Chamber Music Hall. In 1986, the Chamber Music Hall was renamed in recognition of the generosity of the Chairman of the Board of Carnegie Hall, Sanford I. Weill, and his wife, Joan.
 Judy and Arthur Zankel Hall 599 Seats |
Judy and Arthur Zankel Hall
The new Judy and Arthur Zankel Hall opened in September 2003 as the site of a broad spectrum of performing and educational events. When it first opened its doors In 1891, Carnegie Hall comprised three auditoriums: the Main Hall, the Chamber Music Hall, and the Recital Hall, located underneath the Main Hall. The Recital Hall was leased to the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in 1895 and was used as a theater by various groups until the early 1960s, when it was converted to a cinema. In 1997, a process began to reclaim the space for its original purpose, and construction began to create a versatile auditorium generally seating 599, with alternate stage configurations of different capacities. Zankel Hall is named in honor of the generosity of the late Carnegie Hall Vice Chairman Arthur Zankel and his wife, Judy.
Archives
The Carnegie Hall Archives document Carnegie Hall’s rich and varied history, including events in the three halls, construction of the building and its subsequent alterations, and the lives and work of the occupants of the studio towers. The Archives contain over 2,500 square feet of documents, with over 114 years of concert programs, promotional fliers and posters, musical manuscripts and autographs, photographs, drawings, paintings, recordings, architectural drawings, and administrative files. Highlights include a lavishly illustrated souvenir program from the inaugural week of concerts in 1891; a set of stock certificates from the Music Hall Company of New York, the Hall's original governing body; and information on tenants who lived or worked in the Carnegie Hall studios.
The Carnegie Hall Archives were established in the fall of 1986. Since no central repository existed prior to that time, a significant portion of the Hall’s documented history had been lost, discarded, or otherwise forgotten. An intensive search began for historic materials. Through advertisements, stories in the media, trips to flea markets, appeals to the public, and contacts with former employees, artifacts began arriving from all over the world. Vast amounts of material, including over 18,000 concert programs, have been recovered, enabling the Archives to reconstruct much of Carnegie Hall's history.
