Sponsorship

The Lake Forest Civic Orchestra performs 4 regular season concerts and a routinely sold out “Holly Jolly” concert at the Gorton Center. Our chamber groups play throughout the community as pop-ups in Lake Forest’s Market Square, Lake Bluff’s Village Green, the LF Library, School District 67 and other not for profits such as the LB Open Lands Association fundraisers. Local high school musicians play with the orchestra, and have the opportunity to perform with the orchestra as soloists. This season, we’ll perform Beethoven’s Symphony Number 9 with Chorus Master John Hughes leading nearly 100 voices from the Chicago Master Singers and Lux Cantorum Chicago on January 19, 2025. We are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization bringing music professionals and accomplished amateur musicians together to perform beloved classical and popular works. Our typical audiences size is 200-250 patrons at each concert. Our e-mail lists have more than doubled since 2020. We are featured in the media on a regular basis, including most recently an article in Forest & Bluff magazine in October 2023, Gorton’s summer 2023 newsletter, and numerous online Chicago Tribune articles. Our fundraising campaign last season, with the help of a $10,000 matching donor, raised over $22,000. We have a matching $10,000 donor for this year’s fall fund raiser as well.

All sponsors will have logo recognition on the LFCO website, social media, print program, and event communications.*
