A Look At Last Night's Opening of New David Geffen Hall with Gala Concert and Dinner

On Wednesday night, the first of two opening galas in the new David Geffen Hall brought together stars from across music and Broadway with the great New York Philharmonic, conducted by Music Director Jaap van Zweden and Rob Mathes. The evening celebrated the successful early completion of the hall’s renovation during the pandemic, symbolizing the resilient spirit of New York City. A second celebratory gala will be held Friday evening. Both events have raised a total of $17 million for the nonprofits, to-date.
