The program featured the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, conductor Riccardo Muti, and violin superstar Leonidas Kavakos.
The scene outside 57th Street and 7th Avenue on Wednesday evening was a glitzy display of tuxedos and satin dresses as distinguished guests and patrons trickled inside Carnegie Hall for opening night, one of the biggest events on the New York social calendar.
After the performances, guests got in their black cars and migrated over to Cipriani 42nd Street for a black-tie dinner gala. Over plates of branzino and potatoes, remarks by Carnegie Hall chairman Robert F. Smith outlined the many ways opening night benefits the concert hall's artistic, educational, and social impact programming. Last night's event raised more than $5.6 million.
