About Vanguard
In 1963, Albany resident Sue Yager—then a principal with the New York City Opera—founded Vanguard at the request of Albany Symphony conductor Edgar Curtis. Their first project raised enough money in one year to purchase an acoustical shell that improved the orchestra’s sound projection.
Today Vanguard is a dedicated group of volunteers and music lovers who support the Albany Symphony through:
Fundraising
Hands-on volunteer service
Music education advocacy
Supporting musicians’ advanced study through scholarships
Impact
In recent years, Vanguard members have:
Raised nearly $1,000,000 for the Albany Symphony
Sponsored Symphony concerts and events such as Evening in Vienna
Hosted Jazz Brunches, Shrimp Boils, Salons, and special luncheons
Organized adventurous day trips throughout the Capital Region and beyond
Assisted the Albany Symphony office with major projects
Collected and placed 900 gently used instruments across 8 local school districts so more children can participate in music programs
