Welcome to David Geffen Hall, the home of the New York Philharmonic and a cultural home for New York. The design of the Hall is centered around a deep focus on welcoming visitors and audiences to Lincoln Center and expanding the possibilities of what a concert hall can be. Thousands of square feet of public space are open daily to the public; accessibility features are offered throughout; concerts and community events are open to passersby from 65th Street and Columbus Avenue; and select performances from inside the concert hall are streamed live, free of charge. Whether you're returning to David Geffen Hall or visiting for the first time, we look forward to welcoming you!
