The Sembrich has opened its studio museum and historic lakeside grounds for the 2024 season. Visitors can explore the rich artistic history of our region and learn about one of the Gilded Age’s most popular international celebrities through the museum’s exhibitions and events.
Built in 1924, The Sembrich’s lakeside studio museum was once a vocal studio belonging to its namesake Polish soprano Marcella Sembrich (1858-1935). Sembrich was internationally famous as an opera and concert singer, appearing across Europe and the United States between 1878 and 1917. She toured and performed in over 30 states, from Maine to California, and was one of the first commercial recording artists with the Victor Talking Machine Company.
In 1924, the same year the studio was built, she was named the first director of the voice faculties at the Juilliard School in New York City, and the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia. During the summer months, she would bring her students to her Lake George estate, teaching daily lessons in the studio and arranging benefit concerts for local charities. Two years after her death, her daughter-in-law preserved the studio and surrounding four-acre grounds as a museum. The institution has been in continuous operation since, offering exhibitions and performance programming throughout the summer months.
The Sembrich’s 2024 summer festival “A Century of Sembrich” celebrates Marcella Sembrich’s 100-year legacy on Lake George and features a selection of today’s finest concert artists and ensembles. The 2024 festival starts on June 5 with an exclusive season preview by Opera Saratoga, held in the historic studio museum.
Other performers and guest artists include composer Anthony Davis, whose opera X – The Life and Times of Malcolm X, premiered at the Metropolitan Opera in the fall of 2023; Vincent Caruso, the host of Sirius XM’s Symphony Hall; the cutting-edge wind quintet WindSync; acclaimed Polish violinist Kinga Augustyn; and more. The summer festival offers over 20 events and concludes with a candlelit salon concert by pianist Christopher Johnson and featuring an all-Chopin program.
The museum’s 2024 special exhibition “MASTERING MOZART” explores the four operatic roles by Mozart that launched Marcella Sembrich to enduring international stardom. The exhibition features original costumes worn by Sembrich, photographs, and firsthand accounts of her performances. The exhibition is on view until mid-October.
The centerpiece of the exhibition is Marcella Sembrich’s iconic couture Queen of the Night costume worn for the Met Opera’s first production of Mozart’s The Magic Flute in 1900. The museum recently raised over $70,000 to fund the conservation of this rare piece of musical history, which will be unveiled at a special benefit program “A Night at the Museum” on July 11. In addition to the iconic costume, this narrated one-night-only event will also showcase Sembrich’s collection of jewelry, fine art, and other prized possessions.

Performance Industrial has experienced much success in the commercial and industrial cleaning industry. The family-owned business is continuing to grow, but the leaders of the business are expanding into a new industry…
Owners Bill and Karen Miller are teaming up with operations manager Sean Willcoxon, and his wife Jaimee, to run Tinney’s Tavern. The four purchased the well-known restaurant at the end of April and ever since have worked tirelessly to refresh the building, while maintaining everything people love about Tinney’s.
Sean has a long experience working in the hospitality industry. He explained that he was born and raised in hospitality. “My parents owned restaurants, my uncle owned restaurants.” At only 12 years old, he began his career in the family business. Sean worked hard and, as he got older, continued to move up in the industry. He became the Vice President of Catering for Mazzone Hospitality, which collected around $25-million a year and was composed of about 500 staff members. After 26 years of a successful career, Sean decided to leave: “I was looking for a little bit less of the full-time, everyday all day, massive full scale food service,” he explained.
Sean was on the board for Folds of Honor, an organization that helps provide for families of fallen or disabled service members. Bill is a huge supporter of the organization, so Sean had heard of him before, but the two actually met while attending an American Cancer Society event. They became good friends and would often meet to play golf together.
When he decided to leave Mazzone Hospitality, Sean started working for Performance Industrial as the operations manager… However, it wasn’t long before Sean decided he wasn’t completely done working in hospitality. “About six months into my work with Bill, everything was going great, but I had an itch to keep doing food and beverage a little bit, at least on the side,” said Sean.
Bill then suggested that the two team up. He proposed they buy a local restaurant, hire a manager to deal with day to day tasks, and they can be there for support. This would allow Sean to continue working at Performance Industrial, while still getting to work in the hospitality industry without having to be there everyday. After considering the offer, Sean decided it was the right decision and the search for which restaurant to buy began. They wanted to find a local place, and during their search they discovered Tinney’s Tavern.
First established in the 1950s, Tinney’s is located on Lake Desolation. It is extremely popular among snowmobilers, as there are several trails surrounding the lake. Known for great food and a friendly atmosphere, Bill and Sean agreed it was the right location: “It has a great community following and so it was really a no brainer to try to go after it,” explained Sean. At the end of April, ownership officially transferred over to Sean, Jaimee, Bill and Karen.
Once they took over, Tinney’s closed so they could do some much needed renovations. Between both of their experiences at Performance Industrial, they were more than qualified for the job where kitchen exhaust systems are a huge part of the business. “When you get to understand how the kitchens actually work from the mechanical side, everything you know makes you better and stronger,” explained Sean.
In terms of ensuring both businesses continue to thrive, they hired an extremely talented and dedicated manager, Hannah Grady. “This is really going to be Hannah’s place to run,” said Sean. “We’re going to be there to support her, and our focus is going to be everyday making sure Performance Industrial continues to do great things too.”
Overall, they want to make as few changes to Tinney’s as possible: “We’re actually keeping Tinney’s as a whole very much the same,” explained Sean, “We’re just giving it a fresh coat of paint, a little bit of new lighting, (and an) additional TV.”
Loyal customers can rest easy knowing the restaurant is not going through any drastic changes, but every renovation done is going to make the place even greater than it was before. The same goes for Tinney’s food. When the restaurant reopens, people will be pleased to know their favorite meals are still going to be served: “The expectation of the food is to be great, but it’s (also) going to be classic. Wood-fired pizzas, burgers, wings, a very small Italian section, got to add it because I have an Italian background,” Sean explained.
In addition to the renovations and great food, guests can go to Tinney’s knowing they’ll leave with a smile on their face. “We’re going to lead with hospitality and do the best we can to make sure everybody’s experience is, first and foremost, our top priority,” Sean said.
He went on to explain how he wants every person to leave feeling like they “felt like they belonged there. That they felt like they weren’t just another restaurant person, but they were part of the Tinney’s family.”
Overall, the reopening will be celebrated by both those who have loved Tinney’s for years, and people just discovering the tavern for the first time. Between the menu selection, beautiful scenery, and friendly staff everyone is sure to have an excellent experience at Tinney’s Tavern.

The Hyde Collection is thrilled to announce the return of the highly anticipated 33rd Annual High School Juried Show. This spring exhibition serves as an extraordinary platform for budding student artists across Warren, Washington, Saratoga, Hamilton, and Essex counties to showcase their talent and immerse themselves in a professional, competitive arts environment.
Taking place from May 4th to June 2nd, 2024, the High School Juried Show is one of the nation’s longest running events of its kind, spotlighting the works of dozens of outstanding regional artists. This year’s exhibition promises to be exceptional. We received over 580 artwork submissions from 261 students representing 14 regional schools.
The High School Juried Show serves as a transformative opportunity for area high school students to delve into the intricacies of the art world, gaining invaluable experience and knowledge along the way. High school artists employ diverse styles and mediums, including drawing, painting, digital illustration, photography, mixed-media, jewelry, sculpture, and ceramics. This esteemed exhibition exposes participants to the finer points of a professional competitive exhibition process, fostering growth, creativity, and a deeper understanding of their craft.
In an extensive jurying process in which all submissions are reviewed, judges selected 100 pieces of artwork for the exhibition. Our jurors this year include Rebecca Pelchar, Director of Visual Arts Gallery at SUNY Adirondack, Jade Miner, Youth Program +Workshop Coordinator at Salem Art Works, and Aili Lopez, Program Director at C.R.E.A.T.E Community Studios.
“The High School Juried Show is an amazing opportunity for area high school student artists to learn and experience the finer points of a professional competitive exhibition process. As one of the nation’s longest-running high school juried shows, we are proud to continue providing this opportunity for our region’s amazing young artists,” said Katelyn Foley, Curator of Education & Engagement at The Hyde Collection.
The exhibition’s winners will be announced at the opening reception on May 4th in The Helen Froehlich Auditorium at The Hyde Collection. Awards will include Best of Show, Curator’s Awards, Juror’s Awards, and the Visitor’s Choice Award. Additionally, winners will receive scholarships for art classes at SUNY Adirondack, gift certificates for summer programs at Salem Art Works, or a gift of membership at North Country Arts.
A total of fourteen school districts entered and are featured in this year’s exhibition. Included are students from the following New York school districts: Argyle Central School, Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake Central School, Cambridge Central School, Fort Edward High School, Glens Falls Central School, Johnsburg Central School, Lake George Jr and Sr High School, North Warren Central School, Saratoga Springs High School, Schroon Lake Central School, South Glens Falls High School, Queensbury High School, Ticonderoga Central School District, and Whitehall Senior High School.
