Doors open at 10:45 am. The concert ends at 11:50 am. Advance registration is required, and space is limited. Seating is available for 30 registered attendees on the day of the event, first come, first served; standing room is available for others. Free programs cannot accommodate groups of six or more without prior approval. To discuss options for a larger group, contact the ACHA.

Free off-street parking is available. Use 136 Livingston Avenue, Albany, NY, for GPS.
Please cancel your registration if you cannot attend so others may participate. The ACHA reserves the right to cancel no-shows or decline large orders. The event may be canceled in severe weather; the organizers will strive to reschedule or offer extended hours but cannot guarantee a new time slot for every visitor.
After the concert, reserve a walk-through holiday tour of the mansion. Free children’s activities and kits include “Indoor Forest” exploration for younger children and “Round the World” for middle school.
