What is the Guild?

In 2007 a group of interested people met to discuss the future needs of Carnegie Hall as it begins its second century. The Carnegie Hall Guild was formed. Taking its name from the medieval word guild (meaning an association of people for mutual aid or a common purpose), this new organization's purpose is to promote interest in Carnegie Hall and to address special needs and occasions not covered by the Carnegie Hall budget or volunteers.

In May of 2007 the Carnegie Hall, Inc. Board of Directors voted to sponsor the Guild. The  first Guild meeting on September 12, 2007 was an introductory reception on the Ivy Terrace at Carnegie Hall. The Guild ended its first year with 72 “charter” members.

….and what will The Guild do?

The monthly meetings of the Guild will provide an exciting glimpse of Carnegie Hall’s activities and programs, while also providing members an opportunity to become involved and to socialize
The Guild will select and present events, activities and programs to raise funds for its selected projects.
