PURDUE UNIVERSITY NORTHWEST /PurdueNorthwest 6 K athryn Bernel Chair On behalf of the La Porte County Symphony Orchestra, welcome! We can think of no better way to celebrate the good things in life than by offering our community the opportunity to hear a wonderfully wide range of music, performed by an enthusiastic group of talented, dedicated musicians. The last 48 years has seen the LCSO evolve into a major cultural asset in the region. Comprised of over 60 local musicians, the semi-professional orchestra is dedicated to enriching the lives of people of all ages throughout the year. In addition to its regular season concerts in November, March, and April, the LCSO presents the annual Holiday at the Pops, an event that has become a time-honored community tradition. Another much-anticipated annual event is Hoosier STAR, a singing competition that gives talented vocalists a chance to perform before a live orchestra and an appreciative audience. During the warmer months, the LCSO can be seen performing at outside venues such as La Porte’s Fox Park, New Buffalo Lake Park and Beach, Michigan City’s Washington Park and the Friendship Botanical Gardens on U.S. 12. The LCSO is also committed to bringing the joy of music to young people. Over 6,000 area students are treated each October to The Drayton Family Children’s Education Concert at the Civic Auditorium, where the LCSO performs three back-to-back concerts in a single day. In addition, the LCSO supports student music education and artistic experience with our New Generations initiative. We are collaborating with area school systems to promote music education programming; working to revive our Young Artist Competition; developing our student apprentice program; and expanding our relationship with Drew’s Gift of Music, a program which loans donated instruments to students who cannot afford an instrument of their own. Under the talented leadership of Executive Director Tim King, Interim Music Director Chuck Steck, and the LCSO Board of Directors, the orchestra is looking forward to bringing even more musical opportunities to our region. Thank you — to all of you. We owe a debt of gratitude to you for your support. Whether you attend a single concert, buy a season ticket, make a direct donation, join the Friends of the Symphony, or donate an instrument to Drew’s Gift, you are supporting the LCSO. And now, please sit back and enjoy the performance. 7 exceptional taste, great design, outstanding service. Building from the ground up, remodeling, or just sprucing up .
