The re-imagined David Geffen Hall offers new, welcoming public amenities and a state-of-the art music hall to improve the entire concert-going experience. What was once a building with an acoustically challenged hall, and bland, tangled common spaces is now a living instrument. With flexible spaces for performance, a material palette imbued with warmth, color, and glamour, an entirely reconstructed hall emphasizing audience connection and resonant acoustics, the building brings a new energy to Lincoln Center’s Campus – all while respecting its iconic exterior.
