Please join me and the LSO for a great escape during our 2009-2010 Season!
I thought I would give you a preview of what to expect...please check the main
section of our site for exact dates and times.
We will begin at the Amphitheater in September for a program of light
classical and Pops works. This family-friendly concert was a big hit last year.
It is only $10/carload at the gate and appropriate for any age! Following is our Long Center debut for
the season in which we feature Rimsky-Korsakoff's Scheherezade along with the
famous Grieg-Piano Concerto with Chu-Fang Huang, a remarkable young pianist! We
always try and feature an "up and coming" star" in the first concert of the
season and Chu-Fang promises to be a thrilling performer!
November is the new date for the Keller Competition winners concert. This
concert will have three outstanding young area performers in a classical concert
with the LSO. The LSO will also perform Mendelssohn's Italian Symphony.
December will bring the Bach Chorale Singers together with the LSO under the
expert leadership of William Jon Gray in the complete Messiah.
January showcases the talents of the Purdue Glee Club with a program of
Broadway favorites. The LSO will perform medleys from some of Broadways
greatest hits, including Les Miserables, The Producers, My Fair Lady and many
more. In March we have two inspiring soloists: Alfred Abel, LSO Concertmaster,
and Polina Umansky, LSO Principal Cellist, in the Brahms-Double Concerto.
April features the talents of the LSO musicians in virtuoso orchestral
showpieces, including Till Eulenspiegel and Carmina Burana. In May we bring
vocalist Steve Lippia to town. Steve is a superbly talented singer who does
Frank Sinatra like Old Blue Eyes himself, but with his own style and
flair.
Join us for an exciting season! Maestro Nick Palmer
