{i} world famous concert hall in New York City built in 1890 by Andrew Carnegie

a large concert hall in New York City where many famous musicians perform. Concert hall in New York, N.Y., U.S. It was endowed by the industrialist Andrew Carnegie at the insistence of the conductor Walter Damrosch (1862-1950). Designed in a Neo-Italian Renaissance style by William Burnet Tuthill, it opened in 1891, with Pyotr Tchaikovsky as guest of honour.
