Under the direction of Music Director & Conductor Daniel Meyer, the Lakeside Symphony Orchestra (LSO) continues its 59th summer residency in Lakeside with a concert at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, July 30 in Hoover Auditorium.

The LSO, established in 1963, is a celebrated tradition at Lakeside and a key component of our arts programming. More than 80 musicians from across the country are members of the symphony, many of whom have devoted years of service to Lakeside.

This summer brings a series of LSO performances for all ages, seven to be exact, with extraordinarily talented guest artists and new opportunities for audiences to share the love of music and the symphony. There will also be an LSO Brass Quintet Family Concert on Thursday, Aug. 4 and a series of Pre-Concert Lectures on Aug. 2, 9 and 12.

The Lakeside Symphony Orchestra’s Pops Concert on Saturday, July 30, ‘Spoonful of Sugar,’ features Broadway star and vocalist Ashley Brown.
