In Sunday’s (4/14) WAMC Northeast Public Radio (Albany, NY), Bob Goepfert reports, “Locally, the hills are alive with the sound of music. April will see classical music presented by five major organizations offering eight concert performances in six different locations. Adding to this abundance, several prestigious choral groups and soloists will perform in the various concerts. There is a touch of the unique in every performance…. It vividly shows … the sheer amount of first-rate music that is available in the area … The Albany Symphony Orchestra performed last night and will offer the same program again this afternoon at the Troy Savings Bank Music Hall. The Schenectady Symphony Orchestra, now named Schenectady-Saratoga Symphony Orchestra, is performing at Universal Preservation Hall in Saratoga Springs on April 27. They repeat the concert at Proctors in Schenectady the next day on Sunday, April 28. The Empire State Youth Orchestra is collaborating with the RPI Orchestra. They performed together at EMPAC on the RPI campus in Troy, last night. But, not to worry, they play again at Troy Savings Bank Music Hall next week on April 21…. Albany Pro Musica performs at Troy Savings Bank Music Hall on April 28.”
