Though located at 881 Seventh Avenue, between 56th and 57th Streets, in Midtown Manhattan, New York City, every knows the real way to get to Carnegie Hall—at least according to the old joke—is...practice, practice, practice! Indeed, Carnegie Hall remains America's most prestigious and recognizable concert hall. Tune in to Tuesday afternoon's Classical Music With Foley Schuler, as we hear—on the birthday of its benefactor and builder—a few of the most prominent of the countless great works premiered at Carnegie Hall over the years, including music of Peter Tchaikovsky, Antonin Dvořák, Richard Strauss, George Gershwin, Béla Bartók and Duke Ellington.
You can hear Foley Schuler's musical selections—and stories behind the music—every weekday afternoon on Blue Lake Public Radio.
