David Geffen Hall

I vaguely recall that David Geffern Hall was called something else sometime ago. On my last and perhaps only visit, I came to see Steven Tyler from Aerosmith fame perform a number of his hits and some new material that somewhat departed for what Steven is best known.
I loved the venue! Well organized, spectacularly clean and decent acoustics. Large enough to host even the biggest personality and intimate enough where there really aren’t any bad seats.

Yes, Steven Tyler really did put on an epic show at the David Geffen Hall. This show made for great people watching. We saw countless black leather and rhinestones, as a prequel to the performance itself. Mr. Tyler received many rounds of applause for his heartfelt stories and full on rock legend energy.
David Geffen Hall is expansive, with soaring ceilings and wide hallways. If you don’t suffer from vertigo, take a walk and enjoy the absolute largess here. Whatever your musical pleasure, it’s worth your while.
TRIVIA:
The Hall was once called Avery Fisher, for Avery Robert Fisher, a man dedicated to sharing high fidelity sound. Fisher’s three children accepted $ 15 million for the Hall’s naming rights. The Hall was renamed David Geffen Hall in September 2015 after Geffen pledged a $ 100 million donation to the Lincoln Center renovation. We can thank both Mr. Fisher’s children and Mr. Geffen for their continued dedication to bringing us better sound.

I still have goosebumps from this weekend’s performance of Holst’s The Planets.
I am completely blown away by the magnitude and grandeur of the sounds that the NY Phil was able to produce. How can an orchestra be so amazing?!?
If you haven’t gone to a performance yet, go here. Now. You won’t regret it, even if you’re not a big fan of classical music, seeing the NY Philharmonic perform is an unforgettable experience.
Bonus tip! If you’re a student, make sure to take advantage of the rush discount. $ 16 per ticket with fees! Such a great deal for those of us still in school.
Highly recommended!!! Please go here ASAP.

Tonight was the last night to see the Amazing Violinist Leonidas Kavakos along with the New York Philharmonic perform a flawless Sibelius’ Concerto for Violin and Orchestra in D minor, Op. 47. Mr. Kavakos received a thunderous standing ovation. Check out my video for proof!
