We do this for you

To the editor:

Every year, 21 musicians descend upon the Adirondacks bringing with them their families, friends, talent, enthusiasm and joy. Residents and visitors alike have the opportunity to experience this amazing group of professionals in many ways. There are free weekly concerts at Mid’s Park in Lake Placid along with a free children’s concert; there are six weekly series concerts held at the LPCA with complimentary receptions that follow. In addition, the Lake Placid Sinfonietta travels to Tupper Lake, Saranac Lake, and this year, to Partridge Park in Duane, for our annual Gala on July 12. The opportunities for you to experience the sweet sounds of the Sinfonietta are many and varied.

We are now in our second century of bringing world class music to the Adirondacks. It takes the effort of many individuals to bring the Lake Placid Sinfonietta to our region. We have a committed board of directors; professional and dedicated office personnel: Executive Director Debbie Fitts and Operations Manager Jacob Rushlow; a fantastic group of volunteers who gracefully donate their time, and energy to cover scheduled events in addition providing “treats” for our receptions; and finally, 20 musicians, along with weekly featured soloists, provide our audiences with amazing music, led by award-winning Music Director Stuart Malina. In addition, we have a production staff and librarian who help complete the “Lake Placid Sinfonietta Summer Ensemble.”

Most importantly, we cannot do this without the generosity and financial support of our patrons who patiently wait for the summer season to begin. We cannot do this without the philanthropic organizations, councils and local organizations that help to fund our cause. We most definitely want to thank the many independently owned businesses that donate goods or services and those who purchase advertising space in our programs. You are a vital link in our continued successful operation.

We look forward to seeing you all supporting our concerts this year. We are so excited for our new season to begin. Please come and enjoy and remember, we all do this for you!

Sincerely,

Brenda K. Jock
