3 2019 SEASON History of the lso Celebrating its 56th season, the Lakeside Symphony Orchestra (LSO) has provided generations with beautiful music memories and experiences of orchestral music, guest artists, productions and performances that span from being a first introduction to the orchestra, to a timed honored tradition with family and friends. Considered the “crown jewel” of the arts pillar, the LSO’s legacy has become a most treasured three weeks of the Chautauqua season.

In 1964, the LSO was founded by conductor and concert pianist William Penny Hacker. What began with only 14 original members quickly grew to the full orchestra of today. Hacker conducted the LSO for seven years and quickly embedded orchestral music into Lakeside’s summer traditions. In his tenure, the orchestra presented concerts with the famous Gail Grant Ballet Company and operas such as La Traviata and Barber of Seville.

In 1971, the baton was handed to Robert L. Cronquist. As the LSO’s second and longest-serving conductor, Cronquist and the orchestra continued to develop a strong program with long-time dedicated musicians and loyal audience.

Under Cronquist’s tenure, the LSO produced such operas as Rigoletto, Il Trovatore, Tosca and tributes to Gilbert & Sullivan. The collaborations with ballets continued to flourish with the Indianapolis Ballet, Cleveland San Jose Ballet, Pointe of Departure Ballet and now Verb Ballets.

From the 1970s through today, the concerts featured an incredible list of guest artists, such as Ferrante & Teicher, Karl Haas, Carlos Montoya, Richard Chamberlin, Paul Lewis, Patricia Sage, “Doc” Severinsen, George Shearing, Victor Borge, Jean Geis Sell, Antonio Pampa Baldi and the list goes on.

This season introduces the LSO’s third conductor, Daniel Meyer, to lead the orchestra into its next chapter. New this year, the orchestra will showcase youth matinee concerts that continue to develop on the family values embedded into the orchestra’s history.

It has been said that one of the many great contributors to the LSO’s success for the past five decades can be credited to the sense of family the musicians feel with the Lakeside community, as well as with each other. The Lakeside Chautauqua Foundation also manages an endowment that was created to help ensure the financial viability of the LSO for generations to come.

Th e program continues with Joseph Hadyn’s Sinfonia Concertante, composed for orchestra and four solos featuring violin, cello, oboe and bassoon. Th e work between the soloists is written very conversationally with a sense of give and take, thoughts, and ideas among friends.

Finally, the concert concludes with Edward Elgar’s Enigma Variations, a series of musical portraits with each portrait written for a friend and family member, capturing their infl uence, love and appreciation.
