Known for its acoustic
excellence and intimate scale, Merkin Concert Hall has long been treasured as a
unique venue in the New York concert community. The Hall has developed a
reputation for keen programming, driven by an imaginative mixture of traditional
and innovative performances. Most recently, Merkin Hall was saluted by ASCAP for
the 2001 co-presentation of A Great Day in New York directed by Fred
Sherry.
Merkin
Concert Hall is a division of the Elaine Kaufman Cultural Center, which

divisions, the center is an unsurpassed cultural resource where people of all
ages experience the joy of artistic creation, expression and appreciation.
