Old
Songs
Old Songs, Inc. is a not-for-profit, educational, tax-exempt organization
dedicated to preserving traditional music and dance. We are centered in
Guilderland, New York, a suburb of Albany, the capital of New York State.
Since its incorporation in 1977, Old Songs has met this mission by presenting
concerts, dances, classes, and a yearly festival. A working board of directors,
a year-round office, and volunteer and business support underpin the effort.
Our programs reach more than 12,000 people each year, inspiring them, it
is hoped, to incorporate music or dance or storytelling into their lives.
