The experience

There's no better place to spend a November evening than Troy Savings Bank Music Hall, one of the finest concert halls in the country, with acoustics so natural and warm they feel almost like a second instrument. Conductor David Alan Miller brings a program of rare emotional breadth: intimate and cosmic, elegiac and bold.

From a world premiere to two of the most beloved works in the orchestral canon, this is an evening that moves through the full range of what music can do.
