About Max Richter
Max Richter sits at the intersection of classical composition, electronic music, and ambient soundscaping. His Recomposed by Max Richter: Vivaldi — The Four Seasons is one of the best-selling classical albums of the modern era, and his eight-hour composition Sleep — designed to be listened to through the night — became a cultural phenomenon. He’s scored films like Ad Astra and the HBO series The Leftovers, where his music carried entire emotional arcs. A Richter concert is not a loud experience — it’s a deep one. The kind of show where the audience barely breathes during the quiet passages.
If you want to prepare, Max Richter’s catalog on Amazon is an excellent starting point — start with The Four Seasons Recomposed or Sleep.
The Venue
The Palace Theatre is a restored 1931 movie palace in downtown Albany, and it’s one of the most beautiful concert venues in the state. The ornate interior, the acoustics, the intimacy of 2,800 seats — it all adds up to the kind of room that was built for exactly this kind of performance. Max Richter’s music demands a listening environment, and the Palace delivers. Street parking is available on Clinton Avenue and surrounding blocks, and there are garages nearby.
