From First Notes to Lifelong Musicians

Join us for From First Notes to Lifelong Musicians, a one-hour celebration of music and community highlighting the incredible student talent supported by Bravo Waukegan.

This special program will feature performances from Waukegan school ensembles and mariachi musicians, alongside the Lake Forest Civic Orchestra, performing the world premiere of a new work by composer Jim Stephenson in honor of Pat Sikorovsky, founder of Bravo Waukegan.

The evening showcases the heart of Bravo’s mission — empowering children through music, one note at a time. Through programs that provide instruments, lessons, and performance opportunities, Bravo helps young musicians in Waukegan develop their skills, confidence, and love of music.

Following the performance, guests are invited to gather in the Solarium for refreshments and conversation.

We’d love to see you there!
