TICKETS + INFORMATION

Imagine if David Geffen Hall weren’t a terrible facility with a cold ugly ambience, bad sound, and insufficient amenities. Maybe with this fourth (OK, third-and-a-half) renovation we won’t have to imagine. For List purposes, the big deal is a new sound-and-light composition by Marcus Balter, designed to show off the Hall. We can also look forward to some John Adams, and Tania León’s fabulous Stride. Respighi is barely even music — but it’ll also show off the Hall. If there’s anything to show off.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: It looks like Kwame Onwuachi’s Afro-Caribbean restaurant in the Hall isn’t open yet. But there’s BIGGER news: cocktails at the Hall’s bars will be handled by List bud and Cocktail Genius Don Lee!!!!!!!! I may never remember the second half of a Philharmonic concert again.
