This Soundwalk is directed and produced by Founder Emma Edgar and other next-generation young musicians from the Empire State Youth Orchestra's Young Leader Program. The music in this Soundwalk, composed by young musicians and professional music artists, is unique to Albany and Washington Park, with emphasis on the beauty of nature surrounding us and Albany’s history. This Soundwalk is directed and produced by next-generation young musicians from the Empire State Youth Orchestra's Young Leader Program, with a goal to bring peace to the community by sharing music during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. This classical music, nature-inspired audio tour will premiere in Albany’s Washington Park on Memorial Day Weekend-May 30, 2021.

How it Works
Your phone’s GPS is used to determine where you are in the park, and plays a piece of music depending on where you are. We have “attached” each piece of music along the path, and your phone will compare it’s location to those in the itinerary and determine which one is closer.
