Due to the Pandemic, the LCSO will be going into a 3rd year of our Music Director Search. We would like to thank all of our Music Director Candidates for their patience as we continue this search through March of 2021. For more information on all of our outstanding conductor candidates, please go to the “Brave, Maestro” tab at the top of this page.

Twenty instruments were donated to Drew’s Gift on 5-15-2020. Pictured are LCSO Interim Music Director Chuck Steck, Roxy Staff and LCSO Board Member, Joan Davis and Roxy General Manager, Bill Heiss. Twenty instruments from generous patrons were delivered to Roxy Music. They were taken to Drew’s Gift of Music where they will be restored and repaired. After that, these instruments will be available to those elementary, middle and high school music students who otherwise cannot afford to lease or purchase an instrument. Our goal is to make sure that an instrument is placed into every pair of hands that wants to have music in their life.

LCSO + Drew’s Gift of Music = INSTRUMENT DRIVE
The La Porte County Symphony Orchestra is proud to partner with Drew’s Gift of Music with the goal of providing instruments to every student in La Porte County who cannot afford to either lease of purchase an instrument. Their love is music should not be thwarted by their desire to make music. The LCSO will be conducting an “INSTRUMENT DRIVE” for band and orchestra instruments (no pianos or guitars) beginning again in October of 2020 and culminating in our Opening Concert in November of 2020. Our sincere thanks to Roxy Music who is also partnering with us to serve as a deposit site for these instruments.
In exchange for donating an orchestra or band instrument, each person will receive two balcony tickets to our our opening concert of the 2020-21 season on November 7, 2020, at the Civic Auditorium. It is our way of saying “Thanks” for making it possible for our students to make music!
