At this time, same-sex marriages are recognized in the following jurisdictions: Massachusetts, Canada, Spain, South Africa, the Netherlands and Belgium. There is a special enrollment period which ends May 31, 2007 for marriages which occur May 31, 2007 or earlier.

Forms signed after May 31, 2007 will be subject to normal effective date rules; however, exceptions may be made on a case-by-case basis for marriages occurring on or before May 31, 2007. NOTE: For CSEA and UUP employees, there is currently no determination as to whether or not spousal benefits for same sex marriages will be made available for vision and dental insurance which is provided by each of their union’s benefit trust funds. Furthermore, for marriages not occurring in recognized jurisdictions and for employees who have been living with someone of the same or opposite gender for at least 6 months (12 months in some cases), the state offers “domestic partner” coverage for qualifying couples.

The added program will be a Sunday, December 9 Choral Extravaganza, involving hundreds of area high school choruses, who will join the Symphony in a program of seasonal music.

Music Director Charles Schneider has conducted similar programs with the Utica Symphony with great popular success. The other four concerts on the subscription series will offer the public a rich mixture of selections, including a solid sampling of traditional repertoire and several colorful offering less often heard. The opening program on Saturday, September 29 will include the well-known William Tell Overture and the Beethoven 5th Symphony, a backbone of orchestral literature, and will feature pianist Wei-Jen Yuan with the Rachmaninoff third Piano Concerto. The Saturday, November 3 concert is highlighted by Soprano Colby Thomas in a performance of Samual Barber’s Knoxville, Summer 1915. The Tchaikowsky Serenade for Strings and Benjamin Britten’s Simple Symphony round out the concert. The annual CABARET! Concert on Tuesday, April 29, 2008, will feature an unusual offering in Howard Levy, internationally known harmonica virtuoso, who has performed widely in concert with pianist Anthony Molinaro.
