Celebrating Past Grammys
The GRAMMYs are this Sunday, March 14, and with March being Women’s History Month, we wanted to celebrate Tessa Lark, Dame Evelyn Glennie and Talise Trevigne. These incredibly talented women have either won or been nominated for a GRAMMY while playing alongside the Albany Symphony. We are very fortunate to have shared the stage with such talented guest artists!
