    The reimagined David Geffen Hall.
    Coming Fall 2022.

                                        Dear New York Philharmonic Family,

                                        New York City is coming back, and so are we! A city as resilient as ours can’t be kept down

                                        for long. You can see it in the parks and in the streets, in restaurants and cafés. And soon,

                                        this fall, you’ll see the Philharmonic tuning up again, as we start the countdown to the

                                        thrilling and long-awaited reopening of David Geffen Hall in Fall 2022 — further proof

                                        that the city we know and love is re-emerging stronger than ever.

                                        At this very moment, construction is swiftly underway inside David Geffen Hall. While we

                                        await the completion of our reimagined, state-of-the-art home, our journey for 2021–22

                                        brings you, our subscription family, back to live orchestral music in two nearby venues:

                                        Alice Tully Hall and the Rose Theater at Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Frederick P. Rose Hall.

                                        This season, please come with us on this new adventure and Create Your Own Series.
