Allegro Dec 2019

LSO president continued from page 1 Symphony Festival Chorus, Diamond Hill Singers, and the John L. Hurt Elementary school choir. I have been invited back to recruit a festival chorus and to conduct this program again. Our new Maestro, David Glover will also be directing several selections as well. He will also be conducting the LSO as they accompany the Nutcracker with the Charlottesville Ballet, that same week. Both programs will enhance your holiday preparation. The concert is in the newly remodeled Academy Center of the Arts on Main Street downtown Lynchburg, which is a perfect place to gather and savor a quality musical experience. In this lively program, there’s such a wide variety of music, there’s something that excites most every musical taste. Be sure to get tickets for both December programs (Holiday and Nutcracker) as well as for the Broadway concert on January 25, 2020. That program promises to be a sell out as well, so consider giving a holiday gift by purchasing LSO tickets. This year is off to a great start with lots of promise for the year as well as upcoming seasons. There are multiple opportunities for you to share your passion for music with the community by volunteering to help with the work of the LSO – no musical skill is required. We need people on committees with a wide variety of gifts. Email me if you would like to discuss ways you can participate president@lynchburgsymphony. org Please greet me at the next concert.
