Troy Savings Bank Music Hall and Troy Chromatic Concerts Announce Merger
TROY – The Troy Savings Bank Music Hall and Troy Chromatic Concerts announced today a historic merger of the two organizations. Since 1894 Troy Chromatic Concerts has been presenting great live classical music performances. In 1918 the Troy Savings Bank Music Hall became its sole venue. “We are thrilled to welcome Troy Chromatic Concerts under the Music Hall Corporation umbrella. A standard bearer in the cultural life of the Capital Region, we will ensure that their 125 year tradition of presenting musical excellence continues” said Jon Elbaum, Executive Director of the Troy Savings Bank Music Hall.
Board President of the Troy Chromatic Concerts Karl Moschner describes the relationship between the two groups: “Chromatics association with the Music Hall is a key reason for our success in presenting a wide range of renowned classical music performances such as pianist Vladimir Horowitz, contralto Marian Anderson, pianist Artur Rubinstein, soprano Leontyne Price, cellist Yo-Yo Ma and twelve appearances of conductor George Szell with the Cleveland Orchestra, to name just a few.”
From the first concerts in private homes to the series of today, the aim of Troy Chromatic Concerts has been to bring programs of the highest caliber for the enjoyment of local audiences.
“These two historic organizations have a rich history in the City of Troy dating back to before 1918. While many things have changed since then, the world class entertainment they bring to our local and regional community has not. We are excited to see them join together to further enrich our city.”
