For music lovers worldwide, Carnegie Hall is the ultimate musical destination, an international byword for excellence, and an institution whose rich history chronicles the defining moments of so many of the world’s most admired and beloved artists. For the leadership of this institution, this legacy provides an enjoyable yet formidable challenge, as we work each season to devise strategies that build upon the past in imaginative ways and create essential new pathways for growth.

In many respects, embracing this challenge successfully was a hallmark of Carnegie Hall’s 2006–2007 season, as the Board and staff took major steps forward in formulating plans to ensure that Carnegie Hall remain a beacon of excellence and innovation for future generations of music lovers. Key to this process has been the creation of public and private partnerships that are enabling Carnegie Hall to undertake bold new programmatic initiatives on a much grander scale than was ever possible before.
