"For 120 years, Carnegie Hall has been known as one of the world's greatest concert halls and as a premier destination for the world's finest artists. With the creation of these newly expanded facilities, we seek to build on Carnegie Hall's amazing history, ensuring that our building continues to reinvent itself to meet the needs of the 21st century, remaining a place as important to the future of music as it has been to the past."—Clive Gillinson, Executive and Artistic Director

A new Education Wing will include ensemble rooms, practice rooms, and teaching studios, as well as a state-of-the-art home for Carnegie Hall's Archives. Adjacent to the Education Wing will be a new outdoor Roof Terrace—a gathering place for visitors to the building. These new facilities will ultimately provide a wonderful setting in which to inspire a lifelong love of music in young musicians, students, and educators.

Carnegie Hall's educational and community programs annually engage more than 170,000 people around the world, including tens of thousands of New York City public school students.

Construction will be completed over multiple years, coordinated with Carnegie Hall's performance and rehearsal schedules. Carnegie Hall's three auditoriums will not be touched by the renovations, and performance calendars will be largely unaffected in future seasons.
