Elaine Dewar, left, and Dorit Gaedtke play Joseph Haydn’s “Alleluja” on a deck overlooking Lake Flower on Wednesday, practicing for the Community String Orchestra of the Adirondacks’ upcoming spring performances. Gaedtke is the director of Saranac Lake Community String Orchestra and Dewar is a violin teacher who said Wednesday was the first day nice enough to do a lesson outside. “You know, with all the cars you don’t hear all the wrong notes,” Gaedtke said with a laugh. The CSOA will perform at Will Rogers on June 19 and at LPCA on June 20. (Enterprise photo — Aaron Marbone)
