Stewardship

In addition to performing established chamber music repertoire from as far back as the Renaissance era, Loon Lake Live leads by featuring living and lesser known composers. We are especially proud to have commissioned and/or premiered new works by American composers John Winn, Benjamin Tomkins, Jessica Mays, Zae Munn, and Elizabeth Brown.
This summer we will be making the world premiere of a piece by Ugandan composer Justinian Tamusuza, the US premiere of music by Bulgarian composer Dimitar Bodurov, be the third group to perform American composer Stacy Garrop's "Glorious Mahalia" and will be featuring an extremely rarely heard unpublished work by American composer Irene Britton Smith.

Education

We work to nurture the next generation and present a specially designed series focused on sharing classical music in a stimulating environment with North Country youth and their care givers. We also mentor and feature developing younger musicians, and have built an online Play-Along series for developing musicians of every age.  Check it out here. (Scroll down to "Sweets")

Community

Having long lasting community connections is vital to us; we have donated and partnered with local organizations in creating free concerts to help the arts thrive.  Last year we created an educational concert video to support Historic Saranac Lake's undaunted and extraordinary efforts to preserve the history of Hungarian composer Béla Bartók's connection to Saranac Lake.
