With the devastating effects of Hurricane Sandy so far-reaching, we want first to extend our sympathy to the many Carnegie Hall audience members who have suffered under its impact.
Carnegie Hall today announced that it will reopen to public on Wednesday, November 7, following closure caused by both Hurricane Sandy and the subsequent closing of West 57th Street by New York City authorities due to a construction crane in the neighborhood that was badly damaged in the storm.
