    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Terracotta ornaments line the sides with friezes placed above the fourth floor. Arched windows can be seen on the building’s facade. Stained glass and massive steps once adorned its exterior. Carnegie Hall is a building located in the heart of New York City.  Constructed at the end of the 19th century, the structure takes a neo-Renaissance style. The original building was made from reddish-brown brick and thick concrete walls utilizing the Guastavino process. Despite its builder, steel magnate and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie, little to no steel was present during its 1890 consturction. This allowed for resonating acoustics, enhancing the building’s use as a music venue. More than a place to listen to music, it was created to make music into art.<br />
<br />
Carnegie Hall’s interior is separated into three music halls and an education wing. The Judith and Burton Resnick Education Wing is the newest addition, constructed in 2011 during the Studio Tower renovation project, though the Rose Museum located within was built twenty years prior. Resnick Education Wing, taking an L-shaped form, is one of the few areas where Carnegie steel is utilized, paying homage to the hall’s builder. The structure serves as a teaching space for artists and is open to the general public, facilitating the development of music within surrounding communities.<br />
<br />
The oldest of the structures is the Issac Stern Hall, built by amateur architect William Tuthill. The hall is known for its world-class acoustics. When constructing it, Tuthill chose to make Stern Hall as simple as possible. The heavy curtains, extravagant chandeliers, and detailed frescoes, which are <br />
present in other venues, are not present in Stern Hall. Instead, the curvilinear walls are smooth, the roof is domed, and the stage slightly protrudes out. The elements within Stern Hall are simple but amplify each note played. <br />
<br />
Carnegie Hall as a whole is a gem of the music world, with Pyotr Illych Tchaikovsky, George Gershwin, Billie Holiday, etc. taking the stage while also being open for public education. Music travels through the halls because of the intentional simplicity ingrained in the original structure, and the education of said music travels through the wings as an extension of the said structure.]]></dcterms:description>
