Lake Chapala Orchestra

The Lake Chapala Orchestra’s (LCO) previous concerts in June were, once again, performed to sold-out houses. The enthusiastic audiences were captivated by the full sound and energy of Lakeside’s symphony orchestra.  On the heels of that success, the LCO is presenting a “Summer Serenade” concert Thursday, August 25 and Friday, August 26, 3 p.m., at Lakeside Presbyterian Church, San Jorge 250, Riberas del Pilar.

The concert features 12 members of the orchestra playing a variety of music. Two works performed by the orchestra’s principal horn players open the concert, which in turn is followed by the “Clarinet Trio” by Brahms. The second half features the “Wind Serenade” for 12 instruments by the Czech composer Dvorak.

“We started these smaller scale concerts during the pandemic and their success has prompted us to incorporate several of them into our seasonal line up of activities,” says Michael Reason, the orchestra’s artistic director. “Both the Brahms and Dvorak works are true pinnacles of 19th century music and to hear them live in concert is a rare treat!”
