Woody Guthrie traveled the Great Plains during one of the most devastating times in our nation's history. He experienced America in its extremes and lived to sing the tale. The Dust Bowl Troubador captured American life in a way few have been able to match. Join Albany Symphony this Saturday as we explore the life and times of Woody Guthrie as magnificently voiced in Michael Daughtery's album, This Land Sings.

Message from David Alan Miller FYC, dear Grammy voters, I hope you'll consider the beautiful disc the Albany Symphony and I made of Christopher Theofanidis' violin and viola concertos, with Chee-Yun Kim and Richard O'Neill. Here's the gorgeous third movement of the Viola Concerto, inspired by a Sikh melody Chris heard at a memorial service after 9/11. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIYYTjbnNJI
