As the orchestra commences its 54th season, it is hard to believe that I am beginning my 30th season as a part of this amazing community and organization. I am genuinely invigorated by our upcoming schedule of concerts and events. Don’t miss a note! Join the Albany Symphony Orchestra for a percussive explosion, Bernstein, Beethoven, Peppermint Pops, Mendelssohn, youth violin virtuoso Hannah White, Georgia native composer T. J. Cole, Amy Beach, our outdoor Pops concert, “Swinging on the River,” Ellington, and so much more! Be a part of the excitement of live symphonic music performed by your Albany Symphony Orchestra.
