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! Friday, May 20th at 8:00 PM Saturday, May 21st at 8:00 PM FREE pre-concert lecture by Jim Kendros at 7:00 PM SCHUBERT: Symphony No. 8 ("Unfinished") MENDELSSOHN: Symphony No. 2 ("Lobgesang") with soloists Michelle Areyzaga and Tricia Melzer-Swaydrak, sopranos;  Kurt R.
