Maestro Heatherington brings you Schubert 
and Mendelssohn with the Lake Forest Symphony
and the Chicago Master Singers!
Somewhere on every music lover's list of favorite works 
is always Schubert's "Unfinished" symphony, one of those 
works that cannot be played or heard often enough. 
But the real gem on this extraordinary concert is 
Mendelssohn's Lobgesang, a work that has not been 
heard in Chicago since a Ravinia performance led by 
Ricardo Chailly years ago. This astonishing work deserves 
a place alongside Elijah as one of the greatest choral/orchestral 
works of the entire 19th century. Don't miss an opportunity to 
hear it with the Lake Forest Symphony, Maestro Heatherington, 
brilliant soloists and the Chicago Master Singers!
