I am proud to be a founding member of the Lakeview Orchestra and to celebrate our 10th Anniversary! From our small beginning with only a handful of players in each string section to a full, robust orchestra has been a tremendous journey. It is a pleasure and honor to be in the company of the dedicated, incredible musicians and all the people who serve and support the Lakeview Orchestra. Please consider making a donation so our journey can continue, and I hope you will come hear a concert soon! Thank You.
 

Lakeview Orchestra is 10! Since its inception in 2013, Lakeview Orchestra has been home to well-trained, non-professional musicians who revel at opportunities to perform. Through its highly-praised performances, the orchestra provides a vital service to its community, enriching the lives of audience members

As Lakeview Orchestra celebrates 10 years of artisitc excellence, we also look to prepare for the next 10 years by launching the Lakeview Orchestra Spring Challenge with a goal to raise $10,000. Every dollar raised will go directly to helping us achieve our 2023 priorities that include:

• Upgrading our rehearsal space and continuing our residencey at the Athenaeum Center for Thought and Culture: offsetting our increased performance and rehearsal space rental fees.

• Welcoming guest musicians and conductors: Showcasing Chicago's rich talent and elevating performances.

• Paternering with other arts organizations by collaborating with others to offer rich and dynamic programming to a growing audience, like Violins of Hope.

Join the Campaign

Investment in these Lakeview Orchestra priorities will help the orchestra fulfill its vision to be the premiere volunteer orchestra in Chicago. Please consider making a donation to the Lakeview Orchestra Spring Challenge. Donations to the orchestra are 100% tax-deductible and will directly fund the Orchestra’s operations.
