2012 Grant Winners

Each year, proceeds from SaratogaArtsFest's opening celebration, Prelude, and a portion of funds received from donors are awarded to partners to help bring programming to SaratogaArtsFest. For 2011, seven partner organizations from the SaratogaArtsFest alliance of art organizations will receive programming grants for a vibrant array of diverse programming:

  • Albany Symphony Orchestra
    The orchestra’s brass quintet will offer a varied program ranging from Renaissance and Baroque selections to big band jazz and Broadway show tunes.
  • Caffe Lena
    David Greenberger and A Strong Dog will present a program of storytelling and music designed to capture the wit, opinions, quirks, and vibrant personalities of elderly people.
  • The Children’s Museum at Saratoga
    Children will make their own puppets and put on a show in the museum’s Little Theater. Students from the Dorothy Nolan School will also present a puppet show.
  • Home Made Theater
    HMT’s cabaret performance of You Gotta Have Friends will use song and speech to tell the story of friendship through the years. The company’s singers will pay tribute to some of the most important relationships in life.
  • Hubbard Hall (of Cambridge, NY)
    Hubbard Hall will present Mozart’s The Abduction, which blends high comedy with touching tragedy as a gentleman and his man Friday go through high jinks to rescue their lovers from a Pasha’s harem.
  • Opera Saratoga
    The company of singers will celebrate our national pastime as they perform baseball songs from America’s past. Visiting artists from the 2012 Summer Opera Festival will take listeners on a nostalgic journey. The event will include a speaker from the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
  • Saratoga Chamber Players
    In a concert titled The Art of the String Quintet, the Saratoga Chamber Players will perform works of von Dittersdorf, Onslow, and Dvorak.
  • Saratoga Arts
    Kirstin Hersh performs Paradoxical Undressing, a riveting solo presentation combining film, music and a scripted narrative excerpt from her acclaimed memoir, Rat Girl.
