Next Generation Festival 2026 — presented by WMHT and the Troy Savings Bank Music Hall
Sunday March 22, 3pm
Student discounted tickets are available! Call the Box Office to request: 518-273-0038
Music history is the story of premieres—Beethoven’s concerto debut in Vienna, the Rhapsody in Blue, The Rite of Spring. Nowhere is it more exciting than when the next generation takes the stage: students making their debuts in the hall renowned for some of the greatest acoustics in the world. Combine that with the enormous wealth of music programs here in the Capital Region, Mid-Hudson & Berkshires, and you have a festival of music as only the young can bring it: from a flute trio to the Moldau, from Renaissance polyphony to percussion quintet and more. They bring their energy and excellence to a program that spans centuries and a debut that will only ever happen this once. Be there to enjoy and support them!
