Lakeside Pride Symphonic Band Announces Its Autumn Awakening

Ending a year-long hiatus, the Lakeside Pride Symphonic Band debuts its fall performance and marks the musical family's "Silver Anniversary" 25th season! The company has been eager to refocus on community music making and are excited to finally share that joy with audiences again.

The ensemble has prepared pieces from the Father of Blues W. C. Handy, contemporary composer Quincy Hilliard, prodigy Naoya Wada, and others from across the symphonic band spectrum to mark the occasion.

This concert is filled with plenty of exciting music, plus opportunities to meet some of band members as they introduce the performance pieces. Artistic Director Kyle Rhoades will make his triumphant return to the podium after nearly two years without conducting the group in this space. This concert also fittingly shines a silver lining as it marks the debut of the Lakeside Pride Symphonic Band's brand new Assistant Conductor, Jackie Fischer!
