From July 27 to Aug. 14, the concert series will have four sets. These will feature string instruments, french horn, clarinet and harp. Locations of the concerts include the Loon Lake Jewish Center, the Saranac Lake Free Library and Historic Saranac’s Laboratory Museum.

Performing are professional musicians associated with orchestras, universities and fine arts institutions around the world. These include cellists Stephanie Barrett and Heidi Hoffman, violinists Laura Gulley, Susanna Klein and Annie Trepanier, french horn player Debra Sherrill-Ward, harpist Lynette Wardle and clarinetist John Winn.

Because of the coronavirus pandemic, last year’s series was held online and still can be found on Loon Lake Live’s website.

“We tried to make it different than a normal concert,” Artistic Director Catherine Beeson said. “This way listeners can pick and choose what they listen to.

“We are really excited to be together as a group of musicians again along with being together once more with the community,” Beeson added.
