In Appreciation
  Annual Campaign
The Albany Symphony, one of the oldest continuously operating performing arts organizations in upstate New York, touches the lives of more than 150,000 every season through our subscription series, educational performances and radio broadcasts.
 
Each award-winning season testifies to the quality of the Orchestra led by its talented, passionate maestro, David Alan Miller. Maintaining such quality is extremely expensive. You may not realize that ticket prices account for only 35% of the Orchestra's annual operating expenses. Your generous contribution to the Annual Campaign demonstrates your willingness to invest not only in the future of the ASO, but in the education of our children and the quality of life in our region.
  YES!
I would like to make a donation not only in the future of the ASO, but in the education of our children and the quality of life in our region.
