On August 21st, we welcome the classical music trio of Colalillo, Foley, & Foley to Long Point! The acoustics of St. William’s are sure to take their exceptional talents on the piano, violin, and cello to new heights. You may hear pieces from Brahms and more. With experience ranging from gracing the hallowed Carnegie Hall to our very own Long Point, we can only imagine the warm, expressive, and resonant sounds of classical favorites, softly echoing throughout the lake. As always, in case of rain, the show will go on at the Raquette Lake Chapel, just up the hillside from the W.W. Durant.
We are pleased to once again have public transportation from the town dock to St. William’s for our programs this year! Our thanks to Raquette Lake Camps for supplying the barge, and to Michael Bartow, who will be our captain. Be at the dock by 5:30 pm, as it is first-come, first-served. The boat will leave at 6 pm. Please check our website or Facebook for further information. If you have a boat on Raquette Lake, you may also enjoy the concert from the comfort of your boat. You can also dock at the church or sit on the lawn with your blanket or chairs. The concert will start at 6:30 pm and run for about an hour. And don’t forget, each Thursday we’ll have pies to raffle, made by our local baker! Don’t miss the delicious! As always, in case of rain, the show will go on at the Raquette Lake School, located at 115 NY-28, or the Raquette Lake Chapel (August 21st only), just up the hillside from the W.W. Durant.
These programs are made possible with funds from the statewide Community Regrants Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature and administered by the Adirondack Lakes Center for the Arts.
The historic 1890 St. William’s church building is open from Memorial Day to early September. Remember, we are a boat access location only, and you can put in at the village dock right between Raquette Lake Supply and the W.W. Durant. All are welcome to come in, look around, ring the bell, and take a moment to breathe in the peace and quiet. Join us for a late summer picnic, some potential early leaf peeping, or just some peace and solitude within the church walls.
