LAKE GEORGE, N.Y. (NEWS10) – The Lake George Music Festival is planning a big year. A total of more than 80 musicians, composers, and radio and podcast hosts are set to bring classical sounds with energetic flare to the village of Lake George this summer.

Tickets went on sale this week for this summer’s Lake George Music Festival, set for Aug. 6-17. The price varies depending on what you want out of the festival, and how much music you’re interested in enjoying. A full festival pass is priced at $165, and a 3-concert pass at $59. Music and parking passes are for sale through the festival website.

Every year, the Lake George Music Festival attracts senior artists and composers who serve as mentors to the student musicians who fill out the ranks. Everyone performs, and every name has a chance to shine across 11 days.
