This is very very cool! My Honors Chamber choir class is going to Carnegie Hall on April 13th! We're performing with a professional and a college choir! I honestly still can't believe my choir teacher got us to perform there, I can't wait!
I performed there on the main stage (Stern Auditorium/Perelman Stage) in a choir on June 3, 2022, just 8 days ago as of this writing. Sang at the Weill Recital Hall (smaller concert stage at Carnegie) as a soloist in my 20s. Both were awesome experiences as a singer.
Fabulous to find this today. Thank you Sarah, once a gain, a real find for all to listen to. Carnegie Hall. A gem to perform in,...so true! I remember standing on the stage, and the music just came out of my voice like Magic!! So true, the acoutic were unbelievable. I am so happy to see that they didn't tear this gem down, as so often happens. Thanks you Sarah!!

The man talks about how the fabric and cushions effect the sound. How is that going to matter when people, dressed however they are and shaped however they are, will be in those seats. The people and their noises will effect the acoustic far more than fabric and foam.
Actually, engineers and experts in acoustics go to a lot of trouble to ensure that acoustics don't vary with different numbers in the audience. A valid question. Acoustics has been a science with a a strong basis in engineering since the 19th century. There's a fair chance that designers have been kicking this question around for much longer.
