Huzzah, it is spring! This means that yes, the Lakeshore Chamber Orchestra’s spring concert is on the near horizon! This concert’s theme is a celebration of the orchestra’s fortieth season.

So circle Saturday the 14th of April on your calendars, gentle readers. (That’s this Saturday!) At 19h30 in the Valois United Church in Pointe-Claire (70 Belmont Ave., between King and Queen), the Lakeshore Chamber Orchestra will present the following works:

Mozart’s Serenata Notturna (Serenade for Orchestra No. 6 in D major, K. 239)
Corelli’s Pastorale from the Concerto grosso in G minor, Op. 6, No. 8 (Christmas Concerto)
The Lonely Maiden (traditional, arranged by Andres Gutmanis)
Wagner’s Siegfried Idyll
Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony

Admission is $10 per person; admission is free for those under 18 years of age. The concerts usually last approximately two hours, including the refreshment break. There are driving directions and public transport info on the church website. I usually encourage people who are vehicle-less to find someone who has a car and share the cost of the driver’s admission to the concert among them. It’s more fun to enjoy the evening in the company of others, after all. And it bears repeating that children of all ages are very welcome indeed.

We’d love to see you there!
