Curated by GRAMMY-winning conductor and 2019 GRAMMY nominee David Alan Miller, the season presents many new works by living American composers, solidifying the Capital Region's status as an international center for new music, while also presenting great classic masterpieces.
Highlights of the season include seven new or recent works by leading female American composers, including world premieres of new pieces by Albany Symphony Composer-Educator Angélica Negrón and Water Music NY composer, Loren Loiacono.
