Congratulations to Yannick Nézet-Séguin
The Philadelphia Orchestra‘s Music Director, Yannick Nézet-Séguin, received the prestigious “Artist of the Year” award from Musical America. His recognition was attributed to his “unstoppable dynamism” and leadership in “bringing the Philadelphians back to their glory days.” Fifty years ago, legendary Maestro, Eugene Ormandy helped to found SPAC as America’s “Summer Place for the Performing Arts.” Today, that legacy flourishes as Yannick brings us the world’s finest classical programming and guest artists. This is a reminder for all of us that SPAC is a rare gem in our community!

Saratoga School Opens STEM Classroom
St. Clement’s in Saratoga opened the first classroom in the Catholic Diocese to have dedicated solely to science, technology, engineering and math. Students will learn about robotics, coding and app development. “It’s very important to get children excited about science, and from experience with my won children, I know that excitement comes really early in life, not middle school or high school, so you really need to plant the seeds early,” STEM educator, Dr. Susanne Erb, told WNYT.
