In Good Company – Senior Access Initiative 

This program is a creative social connectedness initiative designed to foster a creative community for low-income seniors in the region through musician visits and concert attendance, with transportation provided to remove as many barriers as possible to their access. For the 2024-25 season, Albany Symphony is partnering with CDPHP to provide access to seniors who participate in Colonie Senior Services and LifePath. We hope to see more partners to expand access.
