A concert violinist went to New York City to play at Carnegie Hall. It was his one visit to the city, so he got lost on the way from his hotel to the concert. After wandering up or down several streets, he decided to ask for directions. “Excuse me,” he said to a woman on the corner. “How do I get to Carnegie Hall?” The woman looked at the man hold his violin case and answered, “Practice, practice, practice.”

To perform at Carnegie Hall is a honor for any musician. It’s the highlight of his or her career. It true takes a lot of practice and hard work to be good enough to play at Carnegie Hall.
Carnegie Hall was built by Andrew Carnegie, one of the richest men of his time. It opened in May of 1891. It’s famous for its superb acoustics (音响设计), which make it a wonderful place to both perform and listen to music-all type of music. The famous Russian composer Tchaikovsky played there, and so do the Beatles.
