On Friday, February 13th, audiences at the Beacon Theatre in New York were treated to a surprise reunion by Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel. Simon was performing at a gala event celebrating the renovation of the Beacon.

The duo performed several of their most popular hits, including “The Sound of Silence.” This is only the third time they have played together since their 2004 reunion tour concluded. Garfunkel flew up from Florida for one night only. Simon played a second concert on Saturday.

The audience included celebrities such as Paul McCartney, Jimmy Fallon, and Jon Bon Jovi. The mayor of New York, Michael Bloomberg, was also on hand.

The Beacon renovation included a cutting edge sound system as well as a refurbishment of the interior. It took seven months.

Upcoming concerts at the theater will include Van Morrison, Bryan Adams, B.B. King, and “Thomas & Friends Live.” Audience members from out-of-state will find a number of New York hotel suites in easy distance to the theater to complete their visit to the theater.
