Paul Tonko: “I rise this evening to recognize and congratulate the Albany Symphony…”

On the recordJanuary 27, 2014

I rise this evening to recognize and congratulate the Albany Symphony Orchestra and conductor David Alan Miller for winning a coveted Grammy Award last night for Best Classical Instrumental Solo. It is the first accomplishment of its kind for this orchestra. The composition, ``Conjurer,'' was recorded at the Troy Savings Bank Music Hall, also in New York's 20th Congressional District, and it gave our area yet another reason to be proud of the Capital Region arts and cultural scene. For 84 years, the Albany Symphony Orchestra has been giving a voice to beautifully written pieces of music and enriching our lives in the Capital Region. I again congratulate David Alan Miller and the Albany Symphony Orchestra for their accomplishments and their victory last night at the 56th annual Grammy Awards. ____________________
