In case you missed it, our Celebrating Bartók series is continuing this month with a prerecorded performance by Catherine Beeson! The video premiered on our YouTube channel on Friday. You can view, like, and subscribe to our YouTube channel.
"Celebrating Bartok: Concerto for Viola - A New Perspective, and Four Selections from 44 Duos on collected folk tunes," was arranged by Benjamin Tomkins. Catherine Beeson is Artistic Director of Loon Lake Live, the North Country’s premiere chamber music series, and Historic Saranac Lake’s “house band.” In addition to LLL she has performed as soloist and guest artist with the Colorado Symphony, Ensemble Faucheux, Santa Fe Pro Musica, Lenape Chamber Ensemble. Catherine has also served as Director of Education and Community Engagement programs for the Colorado Symphony, and as Executive Director for the Longmont Symphony. She is a proud advocate for the music of our time as it connects us to the past, envisions our future, and reflects to us our collective ‘You Are Here’. Learn more about upcoming events in our Celebrating Bartók series on our website.  Image of the Week: This photograph shows Trudeau Sanatorium patients Jim, Jerry, Rita, Randy, Maria, and Frances having a "picnic on one of the islands," c. 1946. Patients often explored the area, on foot, by car, and even by boat when their doctors and health allowed. This photograph was taken by patient Betty Kelly while curing in the Schiff Cottage in the late 1940s.

This year the exhibit has traveled to the LeRay Mansion and Saranac Lake High School! Check out the LeRay Mansion website to see more. We were excited to hear this piece about the link between landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted and Saranac Lake on North Country Public Radio and NPR! In case you missed it, you can take a listen on NCPR.
Thanks to Emily Russell for researching and writing this piece! If you want to learn more about the celebrations for Olmsted's 200th birthday, head to the Olmsted 200 site.
