The American Music Festival is a bold, five-day festival of innovative concerts and artistic happenings across Troy, with select events offered free and open to all. It's a chance to experience thrilling new works by living American composers and enjoy the GRAMMY® Award-winning Albany Symphony in an incredible variety of forms.

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.
