The Concert Experience
There is much more to a Lake Forest Symphony concert than sitting in a concert hall and listening to music. An evening at the Symphony is an enlightening, refreshing and enjoyable way to spend a Friday or Saturday night.
Dinner
Lake Forest Symphony season ticket holders can ease into the mood of the evening with an elegant dining experience. The restaurants participating in our Dining Passport program offer discounts on concert night to our subscribers with their Symphony Passport in hand. Restaurants such as Café Pyrenees, The Deerpath Inn’s English Room, and The Country Squire offer a variety of cuisine and dining ambiance. Bon appetit!
Pre-concert lecture with Jim Kendros
Why not increase your knowledge of the evening’s concert repertoire? Beginning at 7:00 PM in the Black Box Theatre in the James Lumber Center for the Performing Arts, music lecturer Jim Kendros will present an entertaining and highly informative overview of the music you are about to hear. Kendros keeps the presentation light and down to earth – he’s compared the music of Schumann and Brahms to an Oreo cookie – come find out why.
The Concert
Sit back and enjoy the comfortable seats in the James Lumber Center auditorium. Maestro Heatherington will speak for a few moments about the evening’s program and then the music begins. “…and all the cares of the day shall silently steal away…” Longfellow. Lake Forest Symphony, the only professional orchestra in Lake County, is an outstanding organization of gifted musicians. The musical artistry is world-class. Enjoy.
