(La Porte, IN) - The La Porte County Symphony Orchestra (LCSO) has made the decision to live stream their season-opening concert on Saturday, November 7, at La Porte’s Civic Auditorium, 1001 Ridge Street. The program entitled, “The Great American Songbook” and led by Guest Conductor, Dr. Christopher Fashun, will begin at 7:00 PM and continue without intermission until 8:15 PM.
“This was a very difficult decision to make,” said LCSO Executive Director, Tim King. “In light of the current pandemic situation in La Porte County, and for the safety of our patrons, our season-opening concert will pivot to a no-cost/live stream only format - a gift to the entire community. I would like to thank our sponsors Beacon Health System, Dr. Charles & Mrs. Rita Hagenow, The Robert J. Hiler Family Foundation and Daniel & Tricia Luck, for their understanding and support of this decision.”
Dr. Fashun is the 5th candidate to be considered for the LCSO’s Music Director position. He is the Director of Orchestras at Holland, Michigan's Hope College where he is an active guest conductor, clinician, and adjudicator percussionist. Dr. Fashun was a 2018 recipient of a U.S. Postdoctoral Fulbright Award. The program will also feature Mezzo-Soprano, Debra Bordo and works by Irving Berlin, George Gershwin and Cole Porter.
