The LSO has a mission to enhance the cultural life of the region. We hope to expand the ways we achieve that goal by collaborating with other area arts groups, adding to our educational offerings, and performing in other cities and towns in the area. Let me know if you have any ideas! Many orchestras perform with local choruses (like we do with the Bach Chorale Singers and Purdue Glee Club) and theater groups (we hope to work with the Civic Theater of Greater Lafayette), as well as ballet companies (another idea here...) and other groups. Working together not only helps to expand audiences, it also is an important public relations tool.
In the educational arena we hope to partner more with local schools, perform more in local schools and find new ways to encourage students to attend LSO performances and rehearsals. We also want to know what local music educators would like to see the LSO do to help them. This is a work in progress...
Our most recent outreach event was to add a concert at the Amphitheater. We hope to expand this to a series in the summer. We also want to perform in other area locations. We have performed a Cushion Concert in Frankfort and hope to do this again. Crawfordsville and Resselear are also possibilities for future concerts.
Lastly, our 60th Season in coming up and we want to have some special events and concerts to help celebrate this milestone. Please pass on your ideas to me, or one of our staff members.
See you at the Long Center!
