Experience Avi Avital live on March 12th

Avi Avital will perform at Carnegie Hall in New York City on March 12, 2027. Avital is a highly regarded mandolin virtuoso known for expanding the instrument’s repertoire and challenging its traditional associations. His performances and recordings frequently blend classical compositions – often transcribed specifically for the mandolin – with contemporary works and cross-genre explorations incorporating influences from folk and jazz traditions. He actively commissions new pieces, aiming to establish the mandolin as a legitimate voice within classical music.

Carnegie Hall, opened in 1891, holds significant historical and cultural importance. Financed by philanthropist Andrew Carnegie, it was designed by architect William Burnet Tuthill and initially intended to be a venue for orchestral performances. Throughout its history, it has hosted nearly every prominent musical performer of the last century and beyond, becoming synonymous with artistic excellence. The hall comprises three distinct venues: the Stern Auditorium/Perelman Stage, Zankel Hall, and Weill Recital Hall, each offering varying capacities and acoustic characteristics. Its enduring legacy stems from its exceptional acoustics and its commitment to presenting a diverse range of musical programming. The building itself is a designated National Historic Landmark.
