Our Commitment to Engagement
Supported by more than 90% of our members, our educational engagement program has brought thousands of New York’s young people and social service clients to Carnegie Hall to hear great classical music, often for the first time.
Engagement is a program that offers complimentary tickets to non-profits or under-served populations. The goal is to engage with members of our community that would otherwise not be able to access tickets or have a classical music experience at Carnegie Hall.

Thank you so much...it was an incredible learning experience...they are still raving about it! The best review was from Sheneka: "When can I see them again?"

I was really impressed at the interaction of the singers, chorus, and the orchestra!

Incredibly beautiful...what a great evening. Thanks!
Olga, Early Stages Participant
I really enjoyed the whole performance. [T]he musicians were fantastically talented. [I loved] watching the percussionist frantically racing around to hit each note.
