Carnegie Hall is an Italian Renaissance-style building—with a brick-and-terra-cotta facade. There are three concert halls: the subterranean Zankel Hall, mainly for jazz; small Weill Recital Hall, usually given over to chamber music shows; and Isaac Stern Auditorium/Ronald O. Perelman Stage, the main (and largest) theater.
Visitors get to enjoy a wide range of exceptional musical performances each season by acclaimed artists and composers; citywide festivals that feature collaborations with leading New York City cultural institutions; orchestral performances, chamber music, new-music concerts, and recitals; as well as the best in jazz, and other popular music. This place is home to more than 500 independently produced events each year.
