One of the most famous concert venues in the world, Carnegie Hall is located at 881 Seventh Avenue, occupying the east stretch of Seventh Avenue between West 56th Street and West 57th Street.
Commissioned by philanthropist Andrew Carnegie in 1890, it is one of the most famous and significant venues for classical as well as popular music in the United States, known not just for its beauty and history but also for its magnificent acoustics. Carnegie Hall has its own artistic programming, development, and marketing departments and presents about 100 performances each season; it is also rented out to performing groups. It has no resident company, though the New York Philharmonic officially resided at Carnegie Hall until 1962.
