When, from 2019, David Geffen Hall (former Avery Fisher Hall) will be closed for renovation, the New York Philharmonic could play at the Auditorium of the Hunter College, on Park Ave. and 68th Street, an East Side building, architecturally rather ugly, which has an auditorium seating 2000. The New York Times reports that the hall will need some renovation work to make it right for the Philharmonic. According to the newspaper, officials at both Hunter and the Philharmonic sound ‘optimistic’ about the project.
