An unsigned article in Monday’s (6/23) Sun Journal (Lewiston, Maine) notes that the Sebago-Long Lake Music Festival has announced its July-August season of weekly chamber music concerts at four Maine venues: South Paris, Bridgton, Chebeague Island, and Harrison. “The Festival is known for its imaginative, diverse programs designed by music director Laurie Kennedy.… This summer, musicians are coming from the LA Philharmonic, the Cincinnati, North Carolina, Indianapolis, Omaha and Portland symphonies; … the Orpheus and St. Luke’s Chamber orchestras; the Boston Chamber Music Society; Apollo’s Fire; UCLA, and the University of Iowa…. In collaboration with the Portland Symphony Orchestra’s approaching 90th anniversary and three-year cycle of all nine Beethoven symphonies, the Festival is also starting a Beethoven cycle—all nine piano trios in three years. The season opener, Beethoven Fest, begins with an early piano trio of Beethoven, and ends with his ever popular Septet, performed by principal players from the Portland Symphony.” The festival will also include music by John Corigliano, Dvorak, Morton Gould, Hindemith, Herbert Howells, Gordon Jacob, Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Mendelssohn, Mozart, Prokofiev, Carl Reinecke, Saint-Saëns, and Phil Salathé.
