Lakeshore Symphonic Band - American Band Composers

Description

Lakeshore Symphonic Band, a tradition in southeast Wisconsin since 1976, is a group of dedicated volunteer musicians whose mission is to share their talents and love of music, promote appreciation of the history and repertoire of concert bands, and enrich the lives of people in area communities.

A select group of Cedarburg High School Choir members will perform together “Giving our choir the opportunity to collaborate with a band of this caliber and experience is exciting for our students,” said Tony Mudra, Cedarburg High School Choir director. “Working with musicians of multiple generations demonstrates how they can stay involved in music well after high school, even if they don’t pursue it as a profession.” The group will perform a diverse line-up of American music from multiple genres, according to Lakeshore director Johanna Anderson. “From marches, to bebop, to traditional hymns such as America, the Beautiful, there’s something for everyone,” said Anderson. “Blending the 60-plus instrumentalists from our band with vocalists from the Cedarburg high school’s top-auditioned A Cappella Choir and Bella Voce ensembles adds a whole new dimension of musical sound and character.”

Lakeshore Symphonic Band is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and depends on membership dues, program advertising sales, donations and ticket sales for its funding.
