(June 8, 2021, NEW YORK)—Carnegie Hall today announced programming for its 2021–2022 season, sharing plans to reopen its landmark concert venue to the general public in October 2021. The new season will consist of more than 100 performances presented on Carnegie Hall’s three stages and across New York City, plus a wide range of music education and social impact programming created by the Hall's Weill Music Institute. Presented from October through June, the season will include appearances by many of the world’s greatest artists and ensembles encompassing classical, jazz, and popular music.

Programming highlights include exciting Perspectives series curated by two renowned artists—pianist and composer Jon Batiste and violinist Leonidas Kavakos; and the appointment of MacArthur Fellow and Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Julia Wolfe to hold the Richard and Barbara Debs Composer’s Chair. The Hall’s next citywide festival—Afrofuturism—will take place in February–March 2022 with festival programming to be created by Carnegie Hall and leading cultural organizations from New York City and beyond.

 

“As we announce our plans for the 2021–2022 season, I feel enormously grateful for the strength and resilience of our entire Carnegie Hall family who has stood steadfast through these incredibly challenging times—serving audiences and the mission of the Hall, seeking to find new ways to make a difference, and keeping people connected through music,” said Clive Gillinson, Carnegie Hall’s Executive and Artistic Director. “Given the road that we’ve traveled, we are especially excited to share this new season. It is rooted in the Hall’s legacy of presenting concerts by today’s finest performers, building on the Hall’s remarkable heritage, but always looking to the future. We will be exploring new works, rising talents, and visionary ideas. As we look to the future with great optimism, we are eager to welcome concertgoers back this fall to share in the irreplaceable experience of enjoying great music together.”

 

Carnegie Hall has been closed to the public since March 13, 2020 due to COVID-19. As New York City reopens and with general health conditions continuing to improve, the Hall is assessing whether further additions can be made to its fall concert schedule. Details about Carnegie Hall’s Opening Night Gala festivities in October and any other programming updates will be announced later this summer.

 

“Music and culture are fundamental to the life of this great city, and they will play a central role in helping to underpin our city’s recovery,” said Mr. Gillinson. “With the health and well-being of our concertgoers as a top priority, we feel it is vital that we do all we can to bring live music back as soon as possible.”

Carnegie Hall’s New Look

With today’s announcement of its 2021–2022 season, Carnegie Hall has also unveiled a new fresh look, reflective of the Hall’s magical and visionary spirit. Developed over the past two years in partnership with New York City-based Champions Design, the Hall’s new visual identity system includes a new logo inspired by the distinctive stained-glass lettering atop the poster cases outside the Hall. A new monogram to accompany the logo has been adapted from embossed lettering on an original beam of Carnegie steel that was discovered during the 2014 renovation of the Hall’s upper floors.
