The concert includes "The Lake Guide," a piece commissioned by SLLMF to commemorate its 50th anniversary. It was written by Beth Wiemann, a music professor at UMaine-Orono and an accomplished composer whose works have been performed around the U.S. and internationally by well-known ensembles.

Carol Madsen, Vice President of the Board of Trustees of SLLMF, said this is great exposure for the popular summer concert series.

"We are so proud of ‘The Lake Guide,’ so if you are hearing this concert for the first time or you heard it this past summer, enjoy it with us on Maine Stage on Wednesday, Nov. 23,” Madsen said. “Take a break from your Thanksgiving preparations and listen with us."

The Program was performed at Deertrees Theatre on July 12, 2022 and includes Donizetti: Trio for Flute, Bassoon and Piano, Beth Wiemann’s The Lake Guide commissioned by the SLLMF, and Beethoven’s Septet in E-Flat Major for Winds and Strings Opus 20.

Performing artists include Laura Gilbert, flute; Benjamin Fingland, clarinet; William Purvis, horn; Adrian Morejon, bassoon; Min-Young Kim, violin; Matthew Sinno, viola; Mihai Marica, cello; Jered Egan, double bass; and Mihae Lee, piano.
