About
Join Albany Symphony on a musical exploration of sound! This hour-long program is split into two parts.
The first half introduces you to the sounds of orchestral instruments on their own and how beautifully they can play together in a chamber ensemble.
In the second half, we put the instruments in your hands. Bow a violin, pucker up to the trumpet or trombone, set your embouchure for a clarinet, and more. Staff and volunteers will guide you through the basics of making sounds with each instrument, teach beginner techniques, and, yes, sanitize the instruments between each use.
The program is geared toward elementary-age children and their families and will be presented in a way that is inclusive for individuals with special needs or sensory sensitivities.
