BOLTON LANDING — The Sembrich reopened in May following an extensive historic preservation project that provided critical updates to the treasured facility. The project included a new roof, improved lighting, complete rewiring of the building, HVAC replacement, restoration of historic light fixtures, and more. The newly improved facility will host several performances in The Sembrich’s 2022 Summer Festival “Reimagining the Classics,” as well as new museum exhibits. “We are thrilled to welcome visitors back into our historic building to experience the magic of music and history in a delightful lakeside setting,” said Executive Director Suzanna M. Bernd. “The Sembrich Studio will be 100 years old in 2024. Thanks to the work completed in this project, we look forward to sharing the beauty of The Sembrich for another 100 years.” The 2022 Summer Festival “Reimagining the Classics” will explore reinvention — from transcriptions and arrangements of beloved classics, to rhapsodies and variations on themes of popular composers. Some events will return to the intimacy of the historic Sembrich Studio and others will be held under a lakeside performance tent. Events begin in June and run through early September.
