About Carnegie Hall - Judy & Arthur Zankel Hall

Carnegie Hall - Judy & Arthur Zankel Hall is a theater and music hall within Carnegie Hall at 881 7th Ave in Midtown Manhattan. The space originally opened with Carnegie Hall in 1891 as a recital hall beneath the main auditorium, was later converted to a cinema in the early 1960s, and reopened as Zankel Hall in September 2003 after a major restoration. It is owned and operated by the Carnegie Hall Corporation, while the building itself is owned by the City of New York, and it seats approximately 599 patrons in configurations that can vary by performance format.

Zankel Hall expanded Carnegie Hall's programming into a wider range of intimate and contemporary presentations while remaining connected to the institution's classical tradition. Its event mix includes chamber music, solo recitals, jazz, world and global music, contemporary and new-music programs, vocal performances, and multimedia or experimental concerts. Carnegie Hall's performance season typically runs from early fall through late spring, with reduced summer programming.

Since its 2003 reopening, Zankel Hall has presented leading classical, jazz, and world-music artists in a flexible below-street-level room known for close proximity, refined acoustics, and adventurous programming.

Location & Transportation

Driving and Parking: On-street parking in Midtown is extremely limited, and several commercial parking garages operate nearby. Because Midtown traffic is heavy and parking costs can be high, guests who drive should allow extra time before the performance.
