SARATOGA SPRINGS \u2013 Saratoga Performing Arts Center announced that it will once again present Orchestra of St. Luke\u2019s performing Bach\u2019s beloved Brandenburg Concertos at Bethesda Episcopal Church in downtown Saratoga Springs on Saturday, December 15 at 7 p.m. The evening will pay special tribute to classical music management visionary and the founder of IMG Artists, Charles Hamlen, who passed away on August 1, 2018 following a long battle with leukemia. Hamlen, a passionate advocate of the arts, was also an artistic advisor to Orchestra of St. Luke\u2019s and a Schenectady native.

Charlie Hamlen and Elizabeth Sobol<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\n\u201cCharlie Hamlen was one of the most beloved leaders in classical music — and my greatest mentor and friend. I literally started my career in a basement apartment in Manhattan that housed the fledging Hamlen Management, which later became the global leader in the field, IMG Artists. His important work in the arts and advocacy in support of AIDS groups touched the lives of countless individuals,\u201d said Elizabeth Sobol, President + CEO of the Saratoga Performing Arts Center. <\/p>\n

\u201cCharlie was instrumental in bringing Orchestra of St. Luke\u2019s to Saratoga last year with the goal of making the Bethesda Brandenburg Concertos an annual tradition in the region. To be able to bring this incredible orchestra back for a return visit is not only a great moment for our community, but also a meaningful tribute to Charlie, who inspired so many with his love of music and his generosity of spirit,\u201d Ms. Sobol continued.<\/p>\n

The \u201cSPAC @ Bethesda Church\u201d performance is part of the Center\u2019s expanded vision to present programming year-round and to create meaningful cultural experiences for the community. <\/p>\n

\u201cFollowing the success of last year\u2019s program, which completely sold out, we are bringing back the treasured Brandenburg Concertos. Once again, our community will have the opportunity to experience one of the world\u2019s great chamber orchestras in an acoustically and architecturally exquisite space,\u201d Ms. Sobol concluded.
