À propos

It was named in honour of industrialist, businessman and philanthropist Andrew
Carnegie, widely regarded as Dunfermline's most famous son.
The building was
the second Carnegie Hall, after the well-known landmark in Carnegie's adopted home of New
York. Designed by local architects Muirhead and Rutherford, Louise Carnegie, his daughter,
attended the earth-cutting ceremony.
The Hall opened in 1937 with a programme
of musical recitals and children’s entertainment, and, as other venues faded in
Dunfermline, Carnegie Hall became the main theatre for variety shows and amateur
dramatics.
In 1974, Dunfermline District Council took over the management of
the Hall, introducing a civic theatre programme that continued to support local amateur
groups, but now also included popular Scottish entertainment, pop music acts and
pantomime. In 1976, comedian Billy Connolly recorded his Atlantic Bridge album at both
Carnegie Halls in Dunfermline and New York.
Contemporary professional drama
was added to the mix in 1996. After a period without full-time management, a new
management team was appointed in 2000 to develop the hall and its activities. The new
staff developed the Carnegie Hall complex, which now incorporated the adjoining Music
Institute as a development and studio performance space, into a dynamic arts centre for
Dunfermline. The addition of the refurbished Tiffany's Restaurant completed the venue's
current incarnation as a vibrant and popular destination for drama, comedy, music and
more.
