2019-12-03 - From the NYC AGO NYC Organ Project: Paul Hall, a 277-seat recital venue in the Juilliard building, is named for Col. C. Michael Paul, a Wall Street financier and philanthropist (and an amateur violinist and conductor) who gave $1 million so that Juilliard students would have a glamorous place to demonstrate their talents. Designed by Pietro Belluschi, the cherry-paneled hall is wider in relation to its length, and had red leather seats on a raked floor. Heinrich Keilholz was responsible for the acoustic design for both Paul Hall and nearby Alice Tully Hall. Paul Hall was dedicated on November 30, 1970. The organ in Paul Hall was originally built in 1969 by the Holtkamp Organ Company, to specifications drawn up by Vernon de Tar (1905-1999), Chair of the Organ Department, in collaboration with Walter "Chick" Holtkamp, Jr. In 2002, the organ was enlarged by Holtkamp, who added an enclosed Solo division and a new three-manual drawknob console, as designed by John Weaver, chair, and Gerre Hancock, faculty, of the Organ Department. Following is the 2002 specification. -Database Manager
