We want to make the orchestra more accessible to people who have never been to see a live concert to come and experience one of the best orchestras in North America.

People are coming out of the woodwork and are ready to showcase their talents.

Concert for the Families,

I really enjoy the youth orchestra because we get to play concert repertoire music with strings and things like that. That's really fun.

The concert hall is the instrument of the orchestra. We're a producing institution. We build what we make.

What better way to celebrate this with a huge concert, with a fabulous pops conductor, with a great orchestra, internationally acclaimed artists, and have it right on the water, a floating concert, right on the Erie Canal?
