Carnegie Hall Scrambles to Reschedule Cancelled Concerts

Carnegie Hall, plunged into suspended animation because of the crane across the street left dangling by Hurricane Sandy, is struggling to accommodate singers, pianists and string players whose dates have been cancelled this weekend. Among changes it announced late Thursday: the King's Singers concert scheduled for Friday was moved to Feb. 18; Murray Perahia's piano recital was moved from Friday to Sunday at Avery Fisher Hall; the Belcea Quartet performance on Saturday moves to Tuesday, but only if authorities reopen 57th Street, which was closed because of the crane; a performance by Opera Lafayette of “L'Invitation au Voyage” on Friday in Weill Recital Hall will take place at the Colony Club; Monday's Oratorio Society of New York performance will take place some time in early 2013.

The city has said work to secure the damaged crane that would allow the nearby streets to open could began this weekend.
