The Lakeshore Youth Orchestras' mission is to provide exceptional orchestral training to young musicians in the youth orchestra setting through a varied, challenging repertoire directed by expert professional musicians.

COVID-19 UPDATE:
​As things change continually in response to our current pandemic, we want you to know we have our musicians and family's safety in mind. We currently hold our rehearsals at Carthage College and while they plan to go back in person this year at this point we do not feel we can safely do so with our limited resources and restrictive protocols.

We will keep you posted in the coming months and anticipate news on hopefully returning in some capacity nearer the end of the year.

"The true beauty of music is that it connects people. It carries a message, and we, the musicians are the passengers." — Roy Ayers
