In Appreciation
  Vanguard - Albany Symphony, Inc.
Throughout its 44-year history, Vanguard has worked to support the Albany Symphony Orchestra. Our members are men and women from the greater Capital District who want to see the orchestra continue to develop its role as a major cultural force in this region.
 
Our activities focus on helping the orchestra prosper by raising funds and providing many services for the orchestra and its concert-goers. In addition, we provide educational opportunities for the very young through the Tiny Tots Program, and for adult musicians through the Vanguard Scholarship/Educational Program. We also hold free concert Prevues at the Albany Public Library each Thursday before classical subscription concerts. Our major fundraiser is the annual Designer Showhouse, which is held over a three-week period each spring. Our ushers and mailing committees provide staff support to the Albany Symphony, and the Vanguard Newsletter keeps the music community informed of orchestra activities.
