Avery Fisher Hall

Avery Fisher Hall, located in New York City, is a part of the Lincoln Center complex. It is the home of the New York Philharmonic symphony orchestra. The hall contains 2,738 seats.

History

The hall was built in 1962 and originally named Philharmonic Hall. It was renamed after Avery Fisher, a member of the Philharmonic board of directors, following his US$10.5 million donation to the orchestra in 1973. The hall's architecture was designed by Max Abramowitz. The hall's interior was acoustically designed by Leo L. Beranek. The hall was originally derided for its poor acoustics. A series of interior renovations throughout the 70s helped improve the sound, but Avery Fisher Hall remains acoustically challenged to this day.
