David Geffen Hall

Designed by Max Abramovitz, the hall opened in 1962 as Philharmonic Hall , as the new home concert venue of the New York Philharmonic, after the orchestra moved from Carnegie Hall.

This is a gorgeous part of NY, each time I come there's something new and exciting to hear!! Bar staff had not poured the inverval drink so would have been quicker to buy at the interval.

Home of New York Philharmonic and lots of Lincoln center performance . The program performed here are audience focused and well designed to educate . Down to earth design for a pure taste of music .

Two ways to get cheaper tix: (1) NY Philharmonic’s student rush program (up to 2 tix for $18/ea, though seats aren’t great); (2) Groupmuse mailing list, w/ occasional great deals/seats for $20/ea

Avery Fisher Hall is located at the northern end of the Lincoln Center Plaza . Amazing acoustics . Catch the NY Philharmonic or another live performance w/killer acoustics .

Violinist Itzhak Perlman & pianist Rohan De Silva playing Vivaldi's Sonata for violin & continuo, Schumann's Fantasiestücke, Beethovan's sonata for violin & piano no7, & Ravel's Sonata in G Major

If you like classical music , you must experience a NY Philharmonic concert at Avery Fisher Hall!

Best seats are 2nd and 3rd tier about 1/3 to 1/2 of the way back from the Orchestra stage.

Composer John Adams (turning 70) speaking before NY Philharmonic playing "Absolute Jest, for String Quartet & Orchestra " + "Harmonielehre." Brilliant!

Great venue to see the NY Phil or any of the traveling orchestras that Linc Inc brings in. Nice outdoor terrace as well .

The additional men's restrooms are one floor up.

DCINY's Messiah Refreshed - Sir E. Goossens's Orchestration with Jonathan Griffith Conducting, a great way to start the season.

Get there early if you're seeing a show! Beautiful theaters .

Awesome space. Take a minute to notice how the noise of the main lobby is dampened when you reach the next floor, the mainentrance of the theater . Take a sec to appreciate the period wood paneling .

What's good here? The greatest music in the world! Also extremely attentive customer service.

Reserve intermission drinks in advance!

The seats have ample leg room but are squeezed together from left to right more snugly than most theaters .

If you can, go see a rehearsal performance on most Thursday mornings throughout the season for only $18!

Upper Tier restrooms : on T2 2 ladies rooms on left side of boxes (facing the stage), another on rt side and 1 men's room (signs on the left direct men down 1 level). T3 ladies' on left, men's on rt.

My last time seeing conductor Alan Gilbert ! NY Philharmonic playing Schoenberg's "A Survivor from Warsaw, Op. 46" + Beethoven's Symphony No 9.

New York Philharmonic reopened! love this hall!

Yesterday, I was here to deliver the Commencement address for the New York Law School Class of 2013: http://bit.ly/12LZrJR

Check for the schedule of open rehearsals. $20 tickets only for an morning show. And you can get a great spot to sit as well .

Alan Gilbert conducting NY philharmonic w/ pianist Yefmin Bronfman playing Bartók's piano concerto no 3, BB 127. Also, Bruckner's symphony no 8 in C minor

Ask for Siobhan at the door????

Get front row seats if you're interested in conducting, want to hear inner string parts, or just want to enjoy the music with legroom. More than the bulkhead on a plane .

nice tix if you can get 'em

I urge you not to drink anything up to two hours before a concert . Restroom lines at intermission are incredible.

Flex your underutilized highbrow muscles ! Catch Wynton Marsalis's new "Swing Symphony" on opening night (Sept 22) or renowned violinist Itzhak Perlman performing Mendelsson (Sept 22-28).

Very beautiful. Wish they had a better cafe setup here. The Nespresso machine sucks :(

From the Archives: On September 18, 1973, Philharmonic Hall was renamed Avery Fisher Hall in honor of a generous donation made by Avery Fisher.

It is beautiful day and our faces are shining.

Beautiful! Wonderful acoustics !

12$ rush tickets with a student ID online. that or 90$ for good seats...DO IT!

Frankly, the NY Phil deserves a better home. Make it happen, Alan Gilbert !

Don't clap between movements!

We saw open seats at a concert that looked completely sold out

There's free halls lozenges in the bathroom . No coughing!

Free admission to rehearsals if you have a friend with membership :)

Don't sit in row QQ if you are short . Hard to see over row in front

Experience it! The NY Philharmonic !

I'm in the Christmas spirit now!

Don't come here after a few drinks and too much sun. You will pass the f@ck out!

Walk beyond the box office area (either side) to enter at the ticket taker for immediate access to the elevators
