On Sunday, Dec. 4, "The Magic of Christmas" returns to Albany’s Palace Theatre. A holiday tradition for families and kids of all ages includes carols, sparkling holiday favorites and more from the Albany Symphony and a sleigh full of talented performers from across the Capital Region.

In addition to longtime collaborators The Music Studio and Capital District Youth Chorale, this year’s "Magic of Christmas" will feature performances by the Boland School of Irish Dance, Ghanaian drumming group Gballoi, and special guest narrator Walter Thorne of the Albany Business Review.

On Saturday, Dec. 10, at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, Dec. 11 at 3 p.m., David Alan Miller leads the Albany Symphony in "Holiday Classics" featuring music by J.S. Bach, W.A. Mozart, and Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson as the Symphony returns to the Troy Savings Bank Music Hall for the first time this season.

    One New Haven summer evening in 2006, a retired grandfather was shot point-blank by a young stranger. A hasty police investigation culminated in innocent sixteen-year-old Bobby being sentenced to prison for thirty-eight years. New Haven native and acclaimed author Nicholas Dawidoff returned home and spent eight years reporting the deeper story of this injustice, and what it reveals about the enduring legacies of social and economic disparity.In "The Other Side of Prospect," he has produced an immersive portrait of a seminal community in an old American city now beset by division and gun violence.
