Albany Symphony concert preview

One of the most electrifying piano works ever written, a musical mystery from the turn of the 20th century and a work premiered just a couple of years ago with the New York Philharmonic on the way when the Albany Sym returns to the Troy Savings Bank Music Hall on April 18 and 19. Music Director David Alan Miller spoke with us about the program, which features piano soloist Garrick Ohlsson playing Rachmaninoff's Second Piano Concerto, Elgar's Enigma Variations & To See the Sky by Joel Thompson.

Saturday April 18 at 730
Sunday April 9, at 3, with pre-concert talks an hour before each performance

Rob Brown comes from a musical family. His mother played piano and taught in this area for nearly 30 years. One uncle is a composer and brass player, one aunt is a professional accompanist and recitalist. And his grandfather had a record collection to rival WMHT’s. He started at WMHT as an intern in 1996. His first job was to go through the stacks of vinyl to make sure they were filed properly. He’s now the Music Director and is thrilled to continue in the “family business” and share more of our very favorite classical music from 1-4 every weekday and 11-3 on Sundays.
