The Sembrich Announces All-Outdoor 2021 Summer Festival

BOLTON LANDING — The Sembrich has announced the schedule for “Nature & Music,” its all-outdoor 2021 Summer Festival. 

This year, visitors will gather under a performance tent on The Sembrich’s beautiful lakeside property to explore the enchanting mix of nature and music in an all-outdoor series. Events include a variety of musical and artistic traditions, including opera, chamber music, folk music, and Shakespearean theater, all performed against the backdrop of Lake George and the Adirondack Mountains. 

“A year without live music – this past year has been like no other,” says Suzanna M. Bernd, The Sembrich’s Executive Director, in a statement. “The Sembrich is looking forward to hosting the return of live music to Bolton Landing.  Audience members’ and performers’ safety is paramount in our hearts and minds, so we will have social distancing and other protections in place.” 

Concertgoers are welcome to bring their own portable folding chairs or use those provided by The Sembrich. Health and safety regulations prescribed by the CDC and the State of New York will be strictly enforced. 

Highlights of the outdoor 2021 Summer Festival include: The Alfred Z. Solomon Masterwork Series, The Touba Family Foundation World Music Wednesday Concerts, A Beethoven Gala, Music for the Great Outdoors, and Rowing by Moonlight, among others. 

 The Sembrich is located at 4800 Lake Shore Drive, Bolton Landing. For more information, visit www.TheSembrich.org call 518-644-2431 or email: Office@TheSembrich.org.
