HARRISON — The first concert of the Sebago-Long Lake Music Festival, titled “Chanson Perpetuelle,” will celebrate the vocal and chamber music of seven French, or French-influenced composers.

Performing will be soprano Lisa Saffer, who is known worldwide for her interpretation of Baroque and Mozart operas and who has recently taken up residence in Naples. Recently, she performed with the Portland Symphony Orchestra as soloist in the “Mighty Mahler” concert, Symphony No. 2 “The Resurrection.”

The concert program ranges from the Baroque operas of Rameau and Handel, to the romantic “Chanson Perpetuelle” by Chausson, to the famous “Flute Invisible” by Saint-Saens, to “Three Poems in French” by contemporary Korean-American Earl Kim.

Rounding out the program will be the String Trio of Jean Francaix and the Piano Quartet in C Minor by Gabriel Faure.

Partnering with Saffer in virtuosic bird-flute duets by Rameau and Handel will be Susan Rotholz, principal flute with the Greenwich Symphony. Forming the continuo in the Baroque numbers will be cellist Eliot Bailen and harpsichordist Michael Sponseller.

Featured in the Françaix String Trio will be Charles Dimmick, Portland Symphony concertmaster; Laurie Kennedy, violist and festival music director; and cellist Jonathan Golove. Pianist Stephen Manes and violinist Gabriella Diaz will join Kennedy and Golove for the Faure Piano Quartet.

The concert will begin at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, July 13, at Deertrees Theatre. For tickets, call 583-6747; visit the Cool Moose in Bridgton or the Country Sleigh or Fare Share in Naples; or go online to www.sebagomusicfestival.org.
