Fodor's Expert Review Merkin Hall at Kaufman Music Center
Upper West Side
Music
A destination for both old-school and cutting-edge musical performances, this concert hall around the corner from Lincoln Center is a lovely, acoustically advanced, 450-seater that presents chamber pieces. It's also known for jazz, world, new music, and especially its Ecstatic Music Festival (dates vary year-to-year), when an eclectic group of indie classical artists more than live up to their billing.
