The Alice Tully Hall is a concert hall that is part of the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in New York City. It was created from the donations of Alice Tully, a chamber music benefactor and patron of the arts. It has a seating capacity of 1,096 and the adjoining lobby can accommodate up to 450 standing or 250 seated. It is particularly suited to solo recitals, to performances of chamber music, and to performances by chamber orchestras and similarly-sized ensembles. Alice Tully Hall is located in the Julliard School building, designed by Pietro Belushi in 1969. As part of Lincoln Center's 65th Street Development Project, Alice Tully Hall is currently undergoing its first major renovation since it opened in 1969. The Architects of the renovation are Diller Scofidio + Renfro. The project is scheduled for completion in the Spring of 2009, with Alice Tully reopening February 22, 2009.
