What to expect
An evening concert in Carnegie's 2,800-seat main auditorium, starting at 8pm. Expect Einaudi's own compositions performed from the piano. The house opens well before curtain and latecomers are seated only at suitable breaks.
Good to know
- Carnegie Hall is at 57th Street and Seventh Avenue; take the N, Q, R or W to 57th Street–Seventh Avenue.
- Stern Auditorium is the main hall — not Zankel or Weill, which are separate rooms in the same building.
- Carnegie seats latecomers only at an appropriate pause, so arrive before the 8pm curtain.
- Upper balcony seats are the cheapest in the house and the acoustic is still good.
- It is a single New York date on this run.
