Legion of Honor

Carnegie Hall, Judy and Arthur Zankel Hall
New York, New York


The application of performance technology permits flexibility at Carnegie Hall’s newest performance space. Multiple stage and seating configurations allow for seating up to 644. The computer controlled theatrical systems, form a flexible infrastructure that supports the hall’s broad programming mission. The architectural lighting design in the lobbies and audience chamber is controlled by a programmable centralized dimming system. Lighting in the audience chamber may be linked to the theatrical lighting system or operated independently.
