Albanettes perform for governor

The Albanettes once again shared a stage with Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

Albany High School’s all-female a cappella singing group sang at the governor’s 2018 State of the State message on Jan 3. 2016  The event marked the third time the Albanettes have performed for Gov. Cuomo. They also sang for the 2016 State of the State and at his New Year’s Day swearing-in ceremony in January 2011.

Under the direction of teacher Brendan Hoffman, members of the group performed “The Star Spangled Banner” and "New York State of Mind."
