Carnegie Hall

One of the most famous buildings in the United States is Carnegie Hall, a classical and popular concert hall in New York Music singer. Carnegie Hall is known for more than just its beauty and history. But also because of its amazing sound. Some say that the chamber itself is a tool. It uses music to make it larger than life.

Carnegie Hall is named after Andrew Carnegie, who paid for its construction. He was a wealthy man who also gave a lot of money to schools and public libraries. Construction on Carnegie Hall began in 1890 and officially opened at night on May 5, 1891.

The Hall was owned by the Carnegie family until 1924 when it was sold to Robert Simon. The building became very old, and in 1960, the new owner planned to destroy it and build an office building. Isaac Stern led the people who fought to save Carnegie Hall, and in the end, the New York City group purchased it for $5 million. This was fixed at the time from 1983 to 1995.

In 1986, it was recognized that Carnegie Hall had never properly preserved its historical records.

The story about newspaper ads and how Carnegie Hall needs help restoring its history brings people in to old concert programmers and sends information around the world. More than 12,000 concert programmers were received with whom it was possible to make appropriate Carnegie records of Hall's concert history.

Carnegie Hall is actually made up of several different halls, but the main hall, now called Isaac Stern Hall, is the most famous. The greatest performances of classical music since the vast majority of time have been performed in the hall, and its reception area is decorated with signed photos of these musicians. The hall itself can accommodate 2804 in 5 spectator seating levels. To get to the top visitors must climb 105 steps to get there!

Since the best and most famous musicians of all time play at Carnegie Hall, it is most aspiring musicians who have big dreams of playing. This led to a very old joke that is now part of Carnegie Hall's history. Question: "How do I get to Carnegie Hall?" Answer: "Practice, practice, practice."
