www.lakeplacid.evrealestate.com 4 —Concert In-Person Attendance 2021—

The Lake Placid Sinfonietta (LPS) and partner venues are closely monitoring the federal and state guidelines regarding safety for musicians, staff, volunteers and audience. Because each venue is different, each space has a different set of guidelines. In addition, we anticipate theconcert experience in general may change as the season progresses. But no matter the changes—known or anticipated—our goal is to make each performance as safe as possible for musicians and audiences while maintaining the artistic excellence the Sinfonietta has always provided.

There are a few parameters that we must all accommodate despite the venue and the full-capacity audience that is allowed:

•The concerts will be one-hour long with no intermission. Last-minute changes to the program are always possible.

•Proof of vaccination as well as proof of ID are required. Children 11 and under (who are not yet vaccine eligible) as well as youth under the age of 16 (who have not yet been vaccinated) may attend concert but must accompany vaccinated family members.

•In order to keep our patrons informed about the season’s schedule and each musical program, we have done the following: created an entirely electronic season program book; listed all concerts and programs on our website (https://lakeplacidsinfonietta.org) and other social media (@ officialLPSinfonietta); printed concert program posters for each venue; and distributed event listings to local news sources.

•Pre and post-concert open-receptions vary as to venue. For example, there are neither pre-nor post-concert Sinfonietta receptions planned at LPCA, at this moment. But patrons are welcome to informally meet in the public bar (Great Hall Lobby Bar, Hotel Saranac) before and/or after the Adirondack Series 7 PM concert taking place at the Hotel Saranac, Saranac Lake on Thursday, July 22.

New this season--as way to make the concert experience more accessible, affordable and safe-- the Sinfonietta is live-streaming, in real-time, 12 of their 14 concerts. The six Sunday Symphony concerts and the six Wednesday Community concerts will be available online. All Sunday concerts require tickets in order to “attend” either in-person or virtually: the Sunday Symphony series costs $10 per viewing device per concert (instead $30 in-person); the Wednesday Community concerts are $0 ( virtually). Once a patron acquires a virtual ticket, then that concert link will be sent via email. Online links will only be live during the real-time performance (therefore, links will not allow a later or subsequent viewing). To learn more about virtual viewing of Sinfonietta concerts, go here.

4 – LETTER FROM MUSIC DIRECTOR STUART MALINA–

Welcome back!

On behalf of the entire Lake Placid Sinfonietta family, it is my great pleasure to welcome you back to a season of LIVE orchestral music! We are beyond delighted to be back in the Adirondacks.

It is crazy to think that I have been the music director of this orchestra for almost two years, and am only now beginning my first season in the position. It has not been an idle time. We have produced some wonderful content, which I encourage you all to check out at our website. We have diligently planned, so we can reopen this year with not only great music, but also music performed in a safe and comfortable environment.

If anything has become crystal clear this past year, it is the power of live music and how central it is to our very existence. Music is the fabric of our souls. Every concert is a shared experience - each creating it’s own community of music lovers - and is a participatory experience at that. Our performances are a blend of the energy from the stage and the reciprocal energy coming to the performers from you, the live audience. This is why, after a year of living virtually, we are so excited to be able to move you, touch you, and wow you in person.

We have a fabulous season of great music for you this summer. I’m looking forward to getting to know you and exploring the many treasures of this beautiful place!

Stuart Malina, Music Director

5 Dear Friends of the Lake Placid Sinfonietta,

It is so exciting to celebrate the return of live classical music to the Adirondacks this sea- son. I look forward to joining with you in all the multiple ways of that there are to engage, enjoy and share the Sinfonietta’s beautiful music. Welcome back, friends.

This past year was a period of adjustment for the Lake Placid Sinfonietta. In our entire 104- year history, only one other time—during WWII—did the Sinfonietta miss a summer sea- son. However, our “pandemic pause” has only made the Sinfonietta stronger, wiser and more committed to making music in the mountains. We used the past year to solidify our fiscal foundation and to re-examine and advance our strategic plan. Meeting virtually, we worked on membership, a fall and spring campaign, advertising as well as events. We up- dated our mission statement to reflect our enduring passion to this area and music, and chose the new core values—“Excellence, Inclusivity and Joy”—to inform the Sinfonietta’s deepest decisions. Despite a challenging year, I am proud of these and other significant board accomplishments.

Patrons may notice a few differences in their concert experience this season. Concerts will be one-hour, without intermission, and subject to program change. Within reduced- contact guidelines, we are finding novel solutions to connect patrons to the music and to one another: an electronic program book; informal gatherings; and a live-stream, weblink option to “attend” Sunday and Wednesday concerts. As guidelines change, so will the concert season and the Sinfonietta. Keeping everyone safe yet connected is truly a “con- certed” effort.

A thrilling change this season is the introduction of new Music Director Stuart Malina. For the past year and a half, Stuart has been diligently working behind-the-scenes with Sin- fonietta staff, board, and musicians to prepare for this summer. It will be a true pleasure to witness Maestro Malina at the podium, as he shares with us all the musical selections culled just for us, just for this season.

Let me end with gratitude. A special thank you goes to all of our dedicated series sub- scribers, concert attendees, business advertisers, sponsors, and first-time visitors. Let us navigate together, through this unprecedented time, while we re-connect to the music we love. How lucky we are to be together to enjoy a summer season!

My very best regards,

Linda McClarigan President, Lake Placid Sinfonietta Board of Directors

23 –History of the Lake Placid Sinfonietta–

1917 The “Boston Simfony Ensemble” is established at The Lake Placid Club by seven Boston Symphony musicians led by Daniel Kuntz, its’ first violinist.

1939 Boston Symphony establishes Tanglewood for its summer program. The Ensemble is put under the direction of Dr. Paul White, Professor at the Eastman School of Music at the University of Rochester who initiated the name change to the Lake Placid Club Sinfonietta.

1945 The summer season is canceled when the Lake Placid Club is used as a “rest center” for returning WWII veterans.

1947 Bassoonist David Van Hoesen joins the orchestra from the Eastman School, a position he held until his retirement in 2011, his 65th summer occupying what is now the David Van Hoesen endowed Chair.

1948 Violinist Dorothy Happel joins the Sinfonietta and serves as concertmaster 1975- 2005.

1948 Philip Albright, double bass, joins the orchestra and begins to serve as librarian. Annette Albright continued as librarian and prepared concert program notes until her death in March 2013.

THE BEST WAY TO LOVE THE ADIRONDACKS IS TO GIVE BACK

1974 The tradition is initiated of outdoor concerts at the Park on Mirror Lake, now “Mid’s Park” and by 1976 the Paul White Memorial Shell was built at the initiative of Elizabeth (Beth) Dury Master.

1979 Sponsorship transferred from the Lake Placid Club to the new Center for Music and Dramatic Arts (now the LPCA) with the support of Nettie Marie Jones. Sponsorship ends in 1981.

1982 Several members of the orchestra and Lake Placid friends establish LPS, Inc. as a separate not-for-profit organization responsible for its own operation and support.

1985 The orchestra is directed by David Gilbert until 1991, followed by Robert Bernhardt 1993-97, Alfred Gershfeld in 1998-2003 and Mark Laycock 2004-07.

1992 Campaign for the Sinfonietta raises $275,000; it becomes the Orchestra Fund.

33 – Education Committee – Anne Hurd; Chair, Kathleen Briggs, Joellyn Cattell, Nancy Emrich Freeman, Nancy Morse, Amy Nelson, Deborah Fitts

In 2002 the Lake Placid Sinfonietta form and Education Committee to deepen the organization’s focus on music education. For nearly twenty years, residencies by extraordinary musicians have reached students in many Adirondack schools by bringing professional musicians and conservatory students into local classrooms. Other programs have included community sing-alongs, movie screenings and a summer “side-by-side” concert where area musicians and students can perform with the orchestra.

In 2020, because in-school programs were not possible due to Covid, the Education Committee coordinated the production of four short, music education videos supported by a grant from the Glenn and Carol Pearsall Adirondack Foundation. The subjects of these videos include the concept of timbre (tone quality of an instrument), introduction of pitched percussion instruments like xylophones and marimbas, and a video about what it means to be a composer. Sinfonietta musicians Tony Oliver (percussion) and Steven Franklin (trumpet) created and performed the short clips. The videos are available to the public as a playlist on the Lake Placid Sinfonietta You Tube channel (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEzelasv2VSblcCDUvRu91jtZmUlfLuG9)

This summer, the Lake Placid Sinfonietta is pleased to include a free children’s concert in its schedule, presenting Prokofiev’s “Peter and the Wolf on Thursday, August 12 at 10:30 AM. This performance is part of the “Young & Fun” series at the the Lake Placid Center for the Arts Open Sky Festival, August 2-15, 2021. The entire festival will take place at the Lake Placid Horseshow Grounds (https://www.lakeplacidarts.org/open-sky- arts-festival/lake-placid-sinfonietta).

The education committee welcomes new members and new ideas. Please feel free to contact committee chair Anne Hurd with suggestions.

As a board member and Guild chair, I reflect on the exceptional value of the Lake Placid Sinfonietta (LPS) Guild: no arts institution operates efficiently without the commitment and dedication of volunteers. Volunteers are the lifeblood of any arts community. The LPS Guild is vital to the continued success of the Sinfonietta experience. Volunteers come in all shapes, sizes, and backgrounds; yet all share two things in common: a generous spirit and a love of music. There is nothing more priceless than the donation of one’s time. LPS could not do what we do, and so well, without our amazing group of volunteers.

What do volunteers do, you ask? What don’t we do, is my answer. Members of the LPS Guild do so much: bake, usher, support fundraising efforts, bartend, collect tickets, stuff envelopes and even, this year, conduct audience and musician safety screening. They get to connect with orchestra members personally; they learn the behind-the-scenes activity necessary to put on a concert; or choose to assist in keeping the office and music library in good order. The Lake Placid Sinfonietta community—board, musicians and staff—encour- age everyone to share their unique talents with the orchestra through volunteering. If you are interested in increasing your sense of connection to the music by volunteering, please call 518.523.2051 to be put in touch with a Guild member who can help you get started.

Sincerely,

Brenda Jock, Guild chair 2021
