Celebrating Our 38th Season!
The Lake Forest Civic Orchestra celebrates its 38th season of high quality, community led performing arts on Chicago’s North Shore. Our theme for the season is “Inspired Performances” and programming on each concert will will center around an inspirational theme. All four subscription concerts will be led by the LFCO’s new music director, Nicholas Wallin. Former music director Christopher Ramaekers will return for the wildly popular Holly Jolly holiday concerts on December 20th. We hope you’ll join us for this exciting season of inspired renewal! Tickets for individual concerts go on sale in early August. Most concerts sold out last year, so check back soon to secure your tickets for this exciting season of inspired musical performances.
