NEW YORK — Gov. Kathy Hochul, joined Saturday by leaders of the New York Philharmonic, announced the debut of the new $550 million David Geffen Hall in Lincoln Center after a two-year renovation.
“The transformation of David Geffen Hall is a pitch-perfect addition to one of New York’s premier concert venues at the iconic Lincoln Center,” said Hochul. “Thanks to our well-orchestrated partnership, this project will boost New York’s cultural and economic life.”
The new Manhattan facility, a major upgrade from the old Avery Fisher Hall, came in two years ahead of schedule and marks its reopening with the world premiere of renowned trumpeter, composer and percussionist Etienne Charles’ show “San Juan Hill: A New York Story.”
