I've played in the Lakeview Orchestra for nearly a decade with other like-minded musicians. Purely out of our love for making music, we volunteer our time and talent to present concerts a few times a year to audiences of hundreds of friends, family, and fans. 

I've had the pleasure of serving in several leadership roles for the Orchestra: associate concertmaster, board member, development chair, and campaign co-chair. As you can see, I'm very invested in the ensemble's success and would like your help contributing to its financial health. 

If you've donated in prior seasons, you have my gratitude. Know that you have supported one of my biggest passions in life. Thank you! 

Thank you in advance for supporting my campaign for Lakeview Orchestra!

PS: in a review of our most recent performance, the strings section was described as "excellent." 

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.
