The Sembrich Dedicates Performance in Memory of Long-Time Board President William “Bill” Hubert

The Sembrich is dedicating the upcoming performance Nature, Our Gentlest Mother in memory of long-time Sembrich Board President William “Bill” Hubert. Hubert served as President of The Sembrich’s Board of Directors for over a decade, beginning in 2008, and sadly passed away this summer. The performance on Wednesday, August 11 at 2:00 PM is a celebration of the connection of nature and song performed by Sopranos Sylvia Stoner and Suna Gunther and features works by Aaron Copland, Richard Strauss, Lilli Boulanger, and Lori Laitman.

“It is with sincere appreciation and gratitude that we dedicate this concert to Bill.  His steadfast loyalty to further The Sembrich’s mission is seen in all areas of the organization, as well as in the hearts of our patrons. says Executive Director Suzanna M. Bernd. “Bill will be remembered fondly, and his generosity and dedicated leadership will be forever evident in the accomplishments of the organization.”

Bill Hubert was an avid musician and always brought a keen sense of understanding to his leadership of The Sembrich. Through the years, Bill’s passion for music and his thoughtful insights helped to shape The Sembrich’s future and advance its mission through its summer festivals, museum, and historic lakeside grounds.

Tickets are $30 and are available online at TheSembrich.org/festival or by calling (518) 644-2431. The performance will take place on the lakeshore under a performance tent. A rain date is scheduled for Thursday, August 12 at 2:00 PM. If needed, The Sembrich will announce the use of this rain date by 6:00 PM on the day prior to the performance.
