Carnegie Hall at 881 7th Ave. was designed by architect William Burnet Tuthill and built by industrialist and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie. The venue has 3,671 seats, divided among three auditoriums: Stern Auditorium, a five-story auditorium with 2,804 seats; 599-seat Zankel Hall; and 268-seat Joan and Sanford I. Weill Recital Hall.
Carnegie Hall, originally the Music Hall, was constructed between 1889 and 1891 as a venue shared by the Oratorio Society of New York and the New York Symphony Society. The hall was owned by the Carnegie family until 1925, after which Robert E. Simon and then his son, Robert E. Simon Jr., became owner. Carnegie Hall was proposed for demolition in the 1950s in advance of the New York Philharmonic relocating to Lincoln Center in 1962. Though Carnegie Hall is designated a National Historic Landmark and protected by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission, it has not had a resident company since the New York Philharmonic moved out. Carnegie Hall was renovated multiple times throughout its history, including in the 1940s and 1980s.
