The famous New York Carnegie Hall | with Sarah Willis
Музыка
The famous saying goes: "How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice, practice, practice!” Sarah meets Norwegian pianist, Leif Ove Andsnes, in New York, to hear why this concert hall is considered one of the best in the world.
Sarah Willis is a British-American French horn player. In 2001, she joined the Berlin Philharmonic, becoming the first female member of its brass section.
She was born in Maryland, USA and grew up in Tokyo, Boston, Moscow and London. At age 14 she started playing French horn and then attended the Royal College of Music Junior Department in London, UK. She studied full-time at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London, UK.
In 1991, she moved to Berlin, where she became Second Horn in the Berlin State Opera under Daniel Barenboim.

This is very very cool! My Honors Chamber choir class is going to Carnegie Hall on April 13th! We're performing with a professional and a college choir! I honestly still can't believe my choir teacher got us to perform there, I can't wait!
Just performed there Monday, I can’t believe how much fun I had
Sarah makes me smile. She's contagious!

My daughter's 9th grade Choir will sing on the Carnegie Hall Stage next April. I am so excited to see her on that stage...
I performed there on the main stage (Stern Auditorium/Perelman Stage) in a choir on June 3, 2022, just 8 days ago as of this writing. Sang at the Weill Recital Hall (smaller concert stage at Carnegie) as a soloist in my 20s. Both were awesome experiences as a singer.
What a delightful behind the scenes look at Carnegie Hall! The dressing of the conductor story was heat warming.

Fantastic video. Very inspiring. I can imagine the emotion of being on that stage.
I won a competition land going there in march, wish me luck!
One question. Why do some conductors use batons vs their hands and why do some switch mid-piece? I've seen this on occasion.

The baton can be seen as an extension of the conductor's arm to show movements even clearer. This is especially important at great distances or with poor visibility. Nevertheless, its use can always vary depending on the conductor's personal preference.

The man talks about how the fabric and cushions effect the sound. How is that going to matter when people, dressed however they are and shaped however they are, will be in those seats. The people and their noises will effect the acoustic far more than fabric and foam.

Actually, engineers and experts in acoustics go to a lot of trouble to ensure that acoustics don't vary with different numbers in the audience. A valid question. Acoustics has been a science with a a strong basis in engineering since the 19th century. There's a fair chance that designers have been kicking this question around for much longer.

It's not "The" Carnegie Hall. It's just Carnegie Hall. I saw the 70's classical rock band Renaissance there. Amazing.
