Community Outreach & News

The Lake Forest Civic Orchestra exists to bring beautiful music Lake Forest and the surrounding communities. We do this by providing high-quality performances and performing opportunities for local musicians, and collaborative opportunities with local schools and organizations.

While you may think of us as primarily a full orchestra, we have several small ensembles that perform at community events - some of which are featured in news items below. We have an active string quartet, woodwind quintet, and brass choir who can help make your event even more memorable with light classical and popular arrangements suitable for reception and background music. If your non-profit organization would like musical support for an upcoming event please click here for more information or contact us.
