We toast our 75th year by starting a new nine-year cycle of Beethoven’s influential and superb symphonies. Native son, violinist Andrew Dunlap, returns to the Lakeshore to perform the daring, dazzling, uber-emotive Bruch violin concerto in g minor. The g stands for grandiose.

Pianist Kelleen Strutz returns to play Gershwin’s heartfelt and innovative piano concerto and LHS alums Cassie Glaeser and Zachary Glaeser stir our Valentine’s Day passion with arias from Carmen and Turandot.

Former Music Director Maestro Wayne Wildman returns for a joyous performance of Bach and Handel concertos, perfectly suited to the season. The Capitol Civic Centre Community Chorale joins in the festive joy, and all are invited to a gathering after the concert.
