CARNEGIE HALL SOCIETY INC

Support our mission by creating your own fundraiser. Since its doors opened in 1891, Carnegie Hall has set the international standard for excellence in performance. Its walls have echoed with applause for the world’s outstanding classical music artists and the greatest popular musicians, as well as many prominent dancers, authors, social crusaders, and world figures who have appeared on its stages.

Today, the venue remains a preeminent concert hall and a vital, active cultural destination for performers and audiences. Carnegie Hall’s primary mission has always been to present the world’s finest music and musicians, enhanced by strong commitments to diverse programming in music, education, and outreach.

Carnegie Hall presents approximately 180 performances by the world's finest artists each season on its three great stages—the celebrated Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage, the innovative Zankel Hall, and the intimate Weill Recital Hall—with offerings ranging from orchestral concerts, chamber music, and solo recitals to jazz, world, and popular music.

The Weill Music Institute at Carnegie Hall creates broad-reaching music education and community programs that play a central role in the Hall’s commitment to making great music accessible to as wide an audience as possible. With access to the world’s greatest artists and the latest technologies, the Weill Music Institute is uniquely positioned to inspire the next generation of music lovers, to nurture tomorrow’s musical talent, and to shape the evolution of musical learning itself. Its education programs are woven into the fabric of Carnegie Hall’s concert season, annually serving over 115,000 children, students, teachers, parents, young music professionals, and adults in the New York City metropolitan area and across the US, as well as 65,000 people around the world through its online and distance learning initiatives.

Carnegie Hall depends on the support and generosity of music lovers everywhere to ensure that it can continue to provide these education programs. To learn more about how you can make a difference, please see our project page below.
