LaPorte County Symphony Orchestra in concert

On Saturday, April 17, 2010, the LaPorte County Symphony Orchestra will present its spring pops concert, State Fair: A Blue Ribbon Event at the LaPorte Civic Auditorium. The concert will begin at 7:30 pm.

Guest vocalists, the LCSO Children's Choir, juggler Thomas Misch, whistler Hans Martin Werner, and a pie-baking contest are all features of what promises to be a delightful downhome evening with the orchestra. I think the only things missing are cotton candy and elephant ear vendors!

Tickets are available at the door -- $18 for adults, $15 for seniors, students and children are free. If you can't attend and would like to make a donation to the orchestra, there is a handy button on the main LCSO website.

Here's the evening's Program:

RODGERS & HAMMERSTEIN: Selections from State Fair
"Our State Fair"
"It Might as Well be Spring"
"It’s a Grand Night for Singing"

ROSSINI: "William Tell Overture"
SAINT-SAENS: Theme from BABE ("Symphony No. 3, Finale")

SCHWARTZ: "The Wizard and I"
GOLDRICH: "The Alto’s Lament"

Sing Alongs, and fun for the whole family
