...the POWER and PUNCH of a rock band...the PRECISION and CLARITY of a chamber ensemble...
The Dogs of Desire is the Albany Symphony Orchestra’s groundbreaking, eighteen-member, chamber ensemble. The ensemble performs all-new music from some of America’s most creative up-and-coming living composers.
