Again this coming season, we will present our concerts at the Carriage House at Fort William Henry. With a 2 million dollar + renovation now complete, its resurgence into the spotlight recently has been part of a broader effort to see Lake George become a cultural tourism destination; featuring this revitalized, year-round indoor performance space.
