Dear Lakeshore Community Concert subscribers,

Sadly, we are coming to our last concert of the 2025-26 concert season. As I announced at our Chris Ruggiero concert, there has been a change in our final concert. The original performers, "The Judds", had to cancel at the last minute due to scheduling difficulties. Our booking agency, Live on Stage, has replaced them with "The Swon Brothers".
The Swon Brothers are also a country group. They have gotten great reviews. The Swon Brothers were winners on the television show "The Voice". They write and perform their own songs in addition to co-writing and performing with such well-known country artists as Blake Shelton. I am including a clip of the brothers' performing.

The Board and I are looking forward to seeing everyone at the Swon Brothers concert on Thursday, March 19 at 7 pm. As always, doors open at 6:30 and the concert begins at 7 pm. Single tickets are available at the door for $30.00.

Information on the 2026-27 concert series will be mailed out in May.

Dear Lakeshore Community Concert subscribers,

Next Thursday, March 5, 2026, Lakeshore Community Concerts is presenting a concert starring Chris Ruggiero. The concert is being held at Highland High School's Auditorium. Doors will open at 6:30. The concert will begin at 7pm. Seating is "first come, first serve". The auditorium will seat 1400 so no need to worry about finding a good seat! Single tickets for this concert are $30.00 each. Tickets can be purchased at the Box Office.

Chris has received accolades for his presentation of the timeless music of the 1950's, 60's and 70's. He is credited with doing for the pop-rock generation what Michael Buble' did for the swing music of the 1940's. I am including a clip of Chris performing.

There has been a change in our final concert on March 19, 2026. The Judds are unable to perform due to scheduling issues. Live On Stage, our booking agency, has replaced them with "The Swon Brothers". The brothers are country and pop performers.

Dear Lakeshore Community Concert subscribers,

I hope everyone enjoyed "The Next Generation Leahy" concert as much as I did. What a talented family!
The Leahys did an Outreach program at the LARC facility in Lansing, Illinois on Monday morning. They were greeted enthusiastically and their performance was met with standing ovations. Thanks to your generous donations to our Sustaining Fund we are able to provide two Outreach programs each season at no charge to the recipients.
And now on to our second concert of the season. We are proud to welcome Lauren Jelencovich. Lauren has an amazing soprano voice. Lauren's repertoire includes music from many genres. We hope you will enjoy this change of pace. We try to choose a variety of musical programs. Lauren Jelencovich's concert is on Saturday, October 4th at 7 pm. Doors will open at 6:30. Both single ($30) and season subscriptions ($75) will be available.
I am including a link to some of Lauren's music which can also be found on You Tube.
