The Lunar New Year
This year the Lunar New Year is celebrated on February 12th and this year is the year of the Metal Ox! This means this year is to be one of hard work and change, as well as an emphasis on any industries involved with metal (ranging from jewelry to needles). The holiday, also referred to as the Spring Festival, marks the first new moon of the lunisolar calendar. Although its usual and exciting festivities cannot ensue as normal, we here at the Albany Symphony would like to wish you all a happy holiday. May 2021 bring good fortune to you all!
