This concert is presented in partnership with Historic Saranac Lake in celebration of their recently acquired collection of artifacts belonging to the composer Bela Bartok. Bartok, who spent his final years in Saranac Lake, composed his “Dance Suite” in 1923 in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the union of the cities Buda and Pest, to form the Hungarian capital Budapest. This widely performed and recorded work consists of five dances with Arabic, Wallachian and Hungarian melodies, and a finale that brings together all the previous thematic sketches.

Sweeney will be the featured soloist in Copland’s “Eight Poems of Emily Dickenson,” a song cycle premiered at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1970 in honor of the composer’s 70th birthday. The beloved American composer was enchanted by Dickenson’s work and wrote, “Her poetry, written in isolation, was folklike, with irregular meters and stanzas and many unconventional devices.”

Sweeney is a participant in this summer’s Seagle Festival, the premier opera and musical theater producing organization in the Adirondacks, as well as the oldest summer vocal training program in the United States. She is originally from the Chicago area where she received degrees in both vocal performance and physics from Michigan State University. Sweeney is a 2023 Emerging Artist at Seagle Festival, where she will perform in Stephen Sondheim’s “A Little Night Music” as Countess Charlotte Malcolm and Jerry Bock’s “Fiddler on the Roof” as Chava.
