Description

Carnegie Hall is recognized worldwide and associated with the heights of artistic achievement and with a multitude of famous performers.

Yet its beginnings are not so well known. In 1887, a chance encounter on a steamship bound for Europe brought young conductor Walter Damrosch together with millionaire philanthropist Andrew Carnegie and his new wife, Louise.

Their subsequent friendship led to the building of this groundbreaking concert space.

This book provides the first comprehensive account of the conception and building of Carnegie Hall, which culminated in a five-day opening festival in May 1891, featuring spectacular music and by a host of performers including Tchaikovsky.
