Symphony Spotlight - 5/13/21

Symphony Spotlight

Our American Music Festival is officially less than a month away! In this week’s Spotlight you’ll find a recent interview with Clarice Assad, whose Guitar Duo is one this year’s Festival highlights. Plus, a look back to last month’s performance of Haydn’s Symphony No. 46 at Universal Preservation Hall. Enjoy!

Enjoy this passionate and lively passage from the first movement of Haydn's Symphony No.46 performed at our Haydn & Schubert concert last month.

Albany Symphony Hour

Start off your weekend with the Albany Symphony, WMHT, and Mozart! Tune in via 89.1 FM Albany, 88.7 FM Poughkeepsie, or online at wmht.org/classical on Friday 5/14 at 6pm!

Clarice Assad Returns

Clarice Assad is no stranger to fans of the American Music Festival, and that’s for good reason. The composer, who recently told us she is “always mesmerized by the variety of works, composers and voices being presented” at AMF, returns next month with a guitar duo that’s sure to be an audience favorite. Of course, being part of a musical family that includes the Assad Brothers (her father, Sérgio, and her uncle, Odair), being part of a great eclectic bunch of music probably comes naturally! For more on Clarice’s recent work, check out this great feature on her recent collaboration with Third Coast Percussion.
