Carnegie Hall is One of the World’s Great Music Organizations

The hall was built in 1891 by Scottish-American industrialist Andrew Carnegie (1835-1919). He made his fortune in Pittsburgh with Carnegie Steel which later became U.S. Steel. At life’s end, Carnegie became a major philanthropist.

The hall has not had a resident company since the New York Philharmonic moved to Lincoln Center in 1962. The hall manages very well with rentals and its own productions. The curating and marketing are world-class.

Some concerts have a broad cultural impact. The 1962 Bossa Nova concert helped popularize the style of Brazilian Samba Jazz that is still the world’s most popular music after the Beatles. Salsa Romántica singer Gilberto Santa Rosa was the first Puerto Rican to play the Hall.
