Gone in A Phrase of Air
Facilitated by Regina Carter

Join jazz violinist Regina Carter, local artists and Albany Symphony musicians as we begin to explore "urban renewal" and its effects on the African American and immigrant communities in Albany. Come create music and poetry with us—no musical experience required. (But feel free to bring an instrument if you have one!) A light lunch will be provided.

This event is free and open to the public. (All ages welcome.) Pre-registration is encouraged.

For the health and safety of all participants, proof of COVID-19 vaccination or a recent negative COVID test is required. See below for a link to detailed guidelines.
