Live music returns to the GFS!
The Glens Falls Symphony is back! Join us on October 10th, with Music Director Charles Peltz and the musicians of the Symphony for the return of live music. After a long year of virtual events and too much distance, we are excited for you to join us in person once again.
Because of the ongoing Covid-19 situation, we will be traveling to different venues this year. Our first concert of the season will take place in First Presbyterian Church in Glens Falls, featuring Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 5, “Reformation” as well as works by Léon Boëllmann and Tobias Picker. Please note that this event will start at 5pm. While the following two events will commence at our usual time of 4pm.
In light of the changing Covid-19 circumstances, the Symphony and/or the concert venues may be revised to limited seating capacity, change admission policies, or even postponement or cancellation. We will keep you informed of any changes if they occur. Thank you for understanding. To purchase tickets to any of these events, click HERE

Now that we have concluded our 2020/21 Season of Music That Heals & Inspires, we want to thank you, our subscribers and audience, for your support and enthusiasm for the virtual performances presented. This past year posed many challenges to our programming as all are well aware, but we were fortunate to receive many forms of support and rallied our limited staff resources to produce a series of creative virtual concerts. In an additional positive note, we now have wonderful recorded content that can be used for so many purposes for years to come, for education, promotion, and development.
This season would not have been possible without the support of our donors, sponsors and volunteers. We gratefully acknowledge and heartfully thank the following businesses, organizations, groups and individuals for their invaluable part in making the 2020/21 season a unique and inspiring experience.
