Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts is an arts complex comprising more than a dozen institutions between 62nd St. and 66th St. on Broadway in New York City. Philharmonic Hall (later named Avery Fisher Hall) opened Sept. 24, 1962. Clippings, programs, correspondence, and other papers relating to functions such as Tea with Tina, a fashion show by designer Tina Leser at the Hotel Pierre, Jan. 23, 1962, and other events concluding with The Fashion Gala '63 held at Philharmonic Hall, Jan. 6, 1963. Much of the correspondence is from and to Mrs. William Stewart ("Sue," later Susan N. Thomas) and includes copies of letters between her and Jacqueline Kennedy, in whose honor a seat was endowed by her classmates of Miss Porter's School, and who in turn endowed a seat in honor of her father.
