Carnegie Hall is recognized worldwide; associated with the heights of artistic achievement and a multitude of famous performers. Yet its beginnings are not so well known. In 1887; a chance encounter on a steamship bound for Europe brought young conductor Walter Damrosch together with millionaire philanthropist Andrew Carnegie and his new wife; Louise. Their subsequent friendship led to the building of this groundbreaking concert space. This book provides the first comprehensive account of the conception and building of Carnegie Hall; which culminated in a five-day opening festival in May 1891; featuring spectacular music; a host of performers and Tchaikovsky as a special guest conductor.
