LS Concert Fund
The Lexington Symphony Concert Fund is a new vehicle for giving that
brings donors closer to the music, funding concerts that require
greater resources such as a larger orchestra, prominent guest soloist,
multiple soloists, and music rental costs associated with new works
still in copyright. This season, the Concert Fund Partners will
sponsor the November 8th Tchaikovsky concert with guest violinist Irina
Muresanu. For more information about the Concert Fund, please
call (781) 863-9581.

In the News...
- Garden Party Fundraiser Great Success!
On June 1, Christina and George Gamota of Lexington hosted
"Cultivating Music and Art: A Garden Party" at their
home, a benefit for the Lexington Symphony. Artwork by local
and national artists, many of whom attended the event, was on
display in the beautiful Gamota garden, while musicians from the
Lexington Symphony performed for the guests from the
balcony. Proceeds from the event will help fund the Lexington
Symphony's outreach and other programs.
- LEF Awards Grant to LS:
The Lexington Symphony has been awarded a generous grant from the
Lexington Education Foundation to bring its program
"Orchestrating Kids Through Classics" to every third
grade student in Lexington.
This winter, an ensemble from the orchestra will visit each school
to meet with the children, demonstrate instruments, and answer
questions. A week later, the full orchestra led by Music
Director Jonathan McPhee will perform at Cary Hall for the entire
third grade. The interactive program will show the development
of the sounds and instruments of the orchestra over a span of 500
years!
- Streaming on WCRB:
LS is the first Boston-area orchestra to create a multimedia ad
for WCRB which can be heard each time a listener visits their
website to "stream", or listen to, their station while
on-line. To hear the ad, go to www.wcrb.com and
click on the "Listen Live" button at the top
right. Our ad is one of two using this venue, so if you
don't hear it the first time simply return to the home page and
click again. The same ad will be running this summer on
LexMedia cable, in an expanded version created by one of our
volunteers, Diane Sperandio.
