Participate
When we call ourselves a “Community Orchestra,” we mean it. The orchestra is made up of members of the community, financially supported by members of the community, and performances are attended by members of the community. We’re an extended family of musicians, both members and guests, some professional, some amateur, all cordial. For more information about participating in the orchestra, please contact us at personnel@lakeforestcivicorchestra.org.
