The LSCO, now in its 48th season, is a pillar of the performing arts in the area serving audiences across seven counties. On Sunday, August 23, 38 members of the LCSO, along with Chuck Steck, Interim Music Director and Conductor, will join together and socially distance on the Celebration Pavilion at FBG to celebrate America. This is an LSCO A la Carte event and a joint fundraiser for FBG.
“The LCSO is very excited about this collaboration with Friendship Botanic Gardens,” said Tim King, LCSO executive director. “The recent restoration is nothing short of spectacular and the LCSO is very happy to be able to perform in such a beautiful place. We sincerely hope this is the beginning of a long and beautiful ‘friendship’ between our two organizations. In addition, our two 2019 Hoosier Star winners, Rebecca Lane and Joe Stewart, will perform their winning songs for our audience.”
