Schroon Lake Arts Council Sets Concert Dates for the Summer of 2021

The Schroon Lake Arts Council (SLAC) has announced their calendar of performances for the summer of 2021.

More from SLAC:

On behalf of the Schroon Lake Arts Council, we hope that everyone in the North Country is staying safe, healthy and respecting all of the recommendations regarding the Covid-19 pandemic. Our hearts go out to those who have lost friends, neighbors or relatives during this tragic pandemic.

The SLAC has been carefully assessing the impact that Covid-19 has had on our lives here in the North Country. We take seriously the responsibility of assuring the health and safety of our artists, staff and audience members during this upcoming summer.  Accordingly, we have decided to cancel our wonderful Boathouse theatre concerts, our weekly jam sessions, as well as our annual Adirondack Folk Festival for this summer. Our plan is to invite all of our artists to return to the Boathouse Theatre during the summer of 2021, at which time we hope that there will be a safe and healthy environment in which to enjoy live music. To whet your appetite for next summer, we are providing links to videos of the artists who will appear during the summer of 2021. As always, we thank you for your support and look forward to offering a thoroughly enjoyable concert series during the Summer of 2021. Please stay safe and stay healthy.

Seagle Cancels 2020 Season Due to Covid-19 Pandemic

From the Seagle Music Colony:

Seagle Music Colony is very sad to announce that the 2020 summer season has been cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We agonized over this decision, but made it due to guidance from state and local officials, combined with the nature of our artists’ and staff members’ communal living at Seagle, and the high-risk demographic of a significant portion of our audience. While it’s almost unimaginable, since never in 105 years of Seagle has a season ever been cancelled, we sadly realize that this is the right decision in light of the unprecedented public health crisis into which we’ve all been plunged.

If you are a 2020 ticket buyer, one of the staff will be in touch with you to go over options.

To all of our followers - thank you for your support through what will surely be a difficult time. While we are heartbroken we will not see you on the hill this summer nor share in all the exciting things that would have been happening, we know that once this crisis is over, the power that music and art have to help us heal will be critical to our collective recovery, and when that time comes, Seagle will be here.
