On Sunday, 19 July at the 10am service, we are glad to welcome string instrumentalists Michael and Stephani Emery to the gallery. Both are prominent faculty members in the Music Department at Skidmore College here in Saratoga Springs. Michael Emery, a Distinguished Artist-in-Residence who has directed Skidmore’s vibrant string and chamber programs for decades, also serves as the concertmaster for multiple regional orchestras. Stephani Emery brings her extensive performance background to the college as an expert private string instructor and chamber coach.  Michael and Stephani are both members of Bethesda Church.
