James Lumber Center, College of Lake County 19351 W Washington St, Grayslake, IL 60030

The Lake County Symphony Orchestra opens its 2026–27 season, “Life, in Four Movements,” on Saturday, September 12 with New Worlds — a program of discovery featuring Beethoven, Louise Farrenc, and Mendelssohn, led by guest conductor Jennifer Huang. 
Every great journey starts with a single step into the unknown — and this season, LCSO takes that step four different ways. New Worlds opens with Beethoven's Creatures of Prometheus, the myth of fire stolen from the gods and given to humanity: creation itself as a season-opening fanfare. From there we travel to a genuinely new world for most audiences — the overture of Louise Farrenc, a 19th-century composer whose music is only now getting the hearing it always deserved. Mendelssohn's Hebrides Overture carries us to the wind and spray of a Scottish sea cave he visited as a young traveler, and we close with the world Beethoven himself was just discovering: his own voice, in the confident, forward-looking Symphony No. 1.
Three composers, four kinds of discovery — mythic, historical, geographic, and personal. It's the perfect way to open a season built on possibility.
