Caroga Arts Collective announced the lineup for the 2023 Caroga Lake Music Festival (CLMF) WinterFest, spanning over four days from Dec. 13-16.
The Caroga Arts Collective presents over 50 performances and community events in the Southern Adirondacks throughout the year, featuring world-class musicians from across the country and from various styles of arts and entertainment. The mission of Caroga Arts Collective is to reimagine the Caroga experience through the power of the arts, founded in 2012 by Kyle Price when he invited friends to his grandmother’s house on Caroga Lake, where they presented a week of free concerts, calling themselves the Caroga Lake Music Festival (CLMF).
“For the past 4 years, CLMF WinterFest has brought acclaimed artists from the annual Caroga Lake Music Festival back to the region for a celebration of the holidays, music, and community,” said Price. “We are excited to gather once again for this beloved tradition, with an exciting mix of events that will offer something for everyone.”
CLMF WinterFest 2023 will kick off on December 13 with “Holiday Harmonies: An Evening with Rich Saunders featuring Caroga Arts Ensemble,” at the Nick Stoner Inn in Caroga Lake. Over the years, the New York-based artist Rich Saunders has gained over 1.3 million followers on Spotify, Instagram, and TikTok combined, quickly becoming a singer-songwriter sensation online. A founding member of Thirdstory, he has performed and opened for A-list artists like Tori Kelly and Chance The Rapper, in addition to making appearances on Saturday Night Live and more.
On December 14, CLMF musicians will perform chamber works by Bach, Schumann, Mendelssohn, and more in “A Classical Winter Wonderland,” at the Paul Nigra Center for Creative Arts in Gloversville. On the 15th, the Caroga Arts Ensemble will perform Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf and Tchaikovsky’s famous Nutcracker Suite at the Glove Theatre in Gloversville.
The last performance, “Holiday Tchaikovsky Spectacular” on Dec. 16 at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Johnstown features Serenade, The Nutcracker Suite, and more. All shows at the CLMF WinterFest 2023 run from 7-9 p.m.
