Studies in Hope: Frederick Douglass, Mvt. II: Lamp Post

We at the Albany Symphony stand in solidarity with communities of color against the systemic racism that has created an everyday reality of intolerance, inequity, and violence for many people across the nation and in our community. We support the right of individuals and communities to engage in peaceful protest and add our voice to call attention to the horrific death of George Floyd and the pattern of racial injustice that tragically has become all too familiar.
#ICYMI: Ask David (Almost) Anything
In last week's episode of Ask David (Almost) Anything, he speaks candidly about the symphony's diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts, as well as the efforts of the larger orchestral community.
