Engaging and imaginative programming is a hallmark of the Duo Ingolfsson-Stoupel. Individually, violinist Judith Ingolfsson and pianist Vladimir Stoupel are seasoned soloists who have won acclaim for their performances across the globe. Together they create connections, tell untold stories, and take audiences on a journey to the heart of chamber music. A recent world premiere performance of the Sonata for Violin and Piano by Paul Arma at the Konzerthaus Berlin was hailed as the “sensation of the evening” by Deutschlandfunk - “there was an intensity in the performance that no one in the audience could escape."

Our return to the MAGIC of live, in-person music, theatre, visual-arts exhibits, and other programming continues in 2022 with "Back in Blue, Act II: The Magic Returns!" 55 years ago, in 1967, a little group called the Beatles came out with "The Magical Mystery Tour," a musical tour de force that helped define a generation. That same year, Jim and Sheila Hutt first directed the Arts Center in Blue Mountain Lake, NY, a magical place that has continued to help define what the arts mean to our Adirondack communities. Join us in 2022 as we return to live activities with a "magical" lineup of classical, folk, rock, alternative, and Broadway music through our Weekend Series. The magic continues with our three Adirondack Lakes Summer Theatre Festival productions: 2 Across, directed by Jordan Hornstein; A Midsummer Night's Dream, directed by Karen Lordi-Kirkham; and Beguiled Again, a revue featuring the "bewitching" music of Rodgers & Hart. Our gallery exhibits will also return, along with workshops and lectures. And our year will end with that always magical song & skit show by your neighbors, "Forever Wild." Season announcement soon - like magic!
