New and innovative work has long been a part of Carnegie Hall’s fabric—the world premieres of such now-standard works as Dvorák’s “New World” Symphony and Gershwin’s An American in Paris took place at the Hall. More recently Carnegie Hall actively began its own commissioning program, and during the 2006-2007 season the works below were added to the growing list of commissioned works.

Carnegie Hall commissions in the 2006–2007 and 2007–2008 seasons and online access to these works were made possible, in part, by a grant from the New York State Music Fund, established by the New York State Attorney General at Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors.
