carnegie hall is named after andrew carnegie, who funded its construction. it was intended as a venue for the oratorio society of new york and the new york symphony society, on whose boards carnegie served. construction began in 1890, and was carried out by isaac a. hopper and company. although the building was in use from april 1891, the official opening night was may 5, with a concert conducted by walter damrosch and russian composer pyotr ilyich tchaikovsky. originally known simply as "music hall" (the words "music hall founded by andrew carnegie" still appear on the façade above the marquee), the hall was renamed carnegie hall in 1893 after board members of the music hall company of new york (the hall's original governing body) persuaded carnegie to allow the use of his name. several alterations were made to the building between 1893 and 1896, including the addition of two towers of artists' studios, and alterations to the smaller auditorium on the building's lower level.
