The perfect music for an evening by the lake, this outdoor performance by members of the company offers popular pieces from the operatic and jazz repertoires. This is an ideal event for any listener looking for a relaxing and casual concert experience. Program highlights include the Flower Duet from Lakmé and Chuck Mangione’s Land of Make Believe.

The Sembrich continues its 2021 Free Film Festival with a lakeside screening of the 2018 film The Maestro on Monday, August 2 at 7:30 PM. Viewers will journey to Hollywood following the Second World War and dive into the vast world of film music. This is a riveting first-hand glimpse, through the eyes of composition student Jerry Hearst, of the mentorship of the noted composer and teacher Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco. Written by C.V. Hearst, the son of the film’s protagonist, this masterpiece for the big screen recalls the daunting struggles to balance the pressures of family and an innate musical calling through the career of a successful artist.
