Info
Avery Fisher Hall is a concert hall in New York City's Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts complex. Home of the New York Philharmonic, the 2,738 seat auditorium is named for philanthropist Avery Fisher, who donated $10.5 million to the orchestra in 1973.On Nov 13, 2014 Lincoln Center officials announced their intention to remove Avery Fisher's name from the Hall and sell its naming rights to the highest bidder as part of a $500 million fund-raising campaign for its refurbishment. Said Lincoln Center chairwoman Katherine Farley,"It will be an opportunity for a major name on a great New York jewel." Fisher's three children agreed to the deal for $15 million.
