About the Sembrich Summer Festival

This event is part of the 2026 Summer Festival, Brava! Celebrating Women in Music, a season honoring the extraordinary artistry, resilience, and influence of women in music. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Lake George, Brava! pays tribute not only to great female performers, but also to women composers, patrons, educators, and cultural leaders whose contributions have often been overlooked.

Through a thoughtfully curated series of concerts, lectures, and exhibitions, the 2026 Festival explores themes of artistic empowerment, mentorship, and creative legacy, from the Gilded Age to today's international stage.
