"Symphonic Exploration" Lake County Symphony Orchestra

The LCSO is ecstatic to announce the start of our '24 - '25 season with a family concert entitled "Symphonic Exploration!" We are lucky to once again be performing at the beautiful James Lumber Center For The Performing Arts at the College of Lake County on September 14th at 7:30 pm! This concert is meant to be experienced by you and your family and can act as a wonderful introduction into the world of classical music or help supplement yours and their previous knowledge. The main work being featured is English Composer Benjamin Britten's iconic "Young Person's Guide To The Orchestra." This work starts with the theme in the entire orchestra and then moves from instrument family to instrument family (strings, woodwinds, brass, percussion) so you and your child can learn more about the various instruments. Do not be fooled by the educational nature of the work. This work is as beautiful and timeless as any of the composer's other major works!

 

 

But, the education doesn't end there! During intermission join us in the lobby of the James Lumber Center for an instrument petting zoo! We will have a wide variety of instruments set up with our LCSO musicians demonstrating them so you and your children can learn more about the various instruments you just heard on stage! We can't wait to see you on September 14th at 7:30 pm at the beautiful James Lumber Center For The Performing Arts on campus at CLC!!!
