In 1887, a chance encounter on a steamship bound for Europe brought young conductor Walter Damrosch together with millionaire philanthropist Andrew Carnegie and his new wife, Louise. Their subsequent friendship led to the building of this groundbreaking concert space. This book provides the first comprehensive account of the conception and building of Carnegie Hall, which culminated in a five-day opening festival in May 1891, featuring spectacular music, a host of performers and Tchaikovsky as a special guest conductor.

From the acclaimed author of Bartali's Bicycle comes the inspiring story of violin virtuoso Isaac Stern and his mission to save the beloved Carnegie Hall from demolition. When Carnegie Hall first opened its doors in 1891, no one could have predicted its incredible success. With talented artists like Duke Ellington and Albert Einstein gracing its stage, the hall quickly became a place where all people--no matter their skin color, religion, or social status--could come together under one roof to be entertained. People like Isaac Stern. The son of Jewish immigrants who fled war-torn Ukraine for America to escape the Holocaust, Isaac was a talented violinist whose dream of one day performing on Carnegie Hall's legendary stage came true, many times over. So when a real estate tycoon sets out to demolish Carnegie Hall, Isaac knew something had to be done to preserve decades of hopes, dreams, and inclusivity. Author Megan Hoyt and illustrator Katie Hickey tell the true story of one man's fight to save a historical landmark whose timeless symbol of equality will forever stand the test of time.

In the 1940s it was unheard of for women to be members of a professional orchestra, let alone play "masculine" instruments like the bass or trombone. Yet despite these formidable challenges, the Montreal Women's Symphony Orchestra (MWSO) became the only all-women orchestra in Canadian history. Formed in 1940, the MWSO became the first orchestra to represent Canada in New York City's Carnegie Hall and one of its members also became the first Canadian black woman to play in a symphony in Carnegie Hall. While the MWSO has paved the way for contemporary female musicians, the stories of these women are largely missing from historical records. From Kitchen to Carnegie Hall illuminates these revolutionary stories, including the life of the incredible Ethel Stark, the co-founder and conductor of the MWSO. Ethel's work opened doors of equal opportunity for marginalized groups and played an important role in breaking gender stereotypes in the Canadian music world.

For more than seven decades, Carnegie Hall has been the nation's leading showcase for the performing arts. From the old-world classicism of Theodore Thomas in the 1870s to the new-world romanticism of Leonard Bernstein, it has presented the leading performers in every field: musicians from symphony composers to Dixieland bands, poets from Yeats to Ogden Nash, pianists from Paderewski to Fats Waller, singers from Galli-Curci to Billie Holiday - the roster is an encyclopedia of "greats." In addition to musical performances there have been hundreds of lectures, rallies, religious services, dance programs, art exhibitions. Its varied repertoire mirrors the cultural history of its times. Among its "firsts" have been the world premiere of An American in Paris, Yehudi Menuhin's appearance at the age of eleven, and the jazz concert of 1912, which was the first time many white people had ever heard Negro music. The authors' text is informal, informed, anecdotal and delightful, highlighted by vignettes of many of the artists, and within 385 marvelous photographs. Many of these have never been published elsewhere: a picture of Booker T. Washington speaking on the main stage with Mark Twain sitting behind him on the platform, a photograph of twenty-six-year-old veteran of the Boer War - the dashing Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill - alighting from a hansom cab in front of the Hall on his way to a lecture in 1901, and dozens more.
