In a challenging year for the performing arts, the Albany Symphony Orchestra got some good news this fall. It has been nominated for a Grammy for the fifth time in seven years.
It’s a sound – and feeling – that a lot of us haven’t experienced in a while. In a year that has largely stifled the music industry, the ASO was nominated for its newly-released performance of Christopher Theofanidis’ “Concerto for Viola and Chamber Orchestra” – a performance recorded way back in 2018, in a livelier Troy Savings Bank Music Hall.
Music Director David Alan Miller says he’s thrilled by the nomination (for “Best Classical Instrumental Solo”), particularly because it showcases new work.
