The New York Philharmonic and the Lincoln Center have announced that they abandoned a $500 million plan for the renovation of David Geffen Hall and that they are seeking simpler ways to improve the hall.
The plan was started in 2015 with a $100 million gift from David Geffen (with the subsequent name change of the former Avery Fisher Hall) and seems to have become too complicated by now. The new approach will be simpler and less costly.
