The La Porte County Symphony Orchestra is excited to announce that the 38th Annual Drayton Family Education Concerts is in partnership with Carnegie Halls’ Weill Music Institute for the second year to present the Link Up program “The Orchestra Moves”. This year’s concerts will take place on Wednesday, October 14th at 9:30 am, 11:10 am, and 12:45 pm at the Civic Auditorium in La Porte. LCSO’s Music Director, Dr. Carolyn Watson, will lead this year’s concerts. These concerts provide music education to around 5,000 students and educators from 
Northwest Indiana and Southwest Michigan.
The LCSO thanks the Health Foundation of La Porte, Dr. Mark and Mrs. Judy Jacobi, Levine Family Foundation of La Porte, Walmart #2276, David and Dr. Linda Sirugo, Kappa Kappa Kappa of La Porte, LaPorte County Bar Association, and an anonymous donor for their support of these concerts.

We would also like to thank Michael Drayton and the staff of Drayton, Biege, Sirugo & Elliott, LLP, for their incredible service of contacting schools, taking reservations, and handling all the seating for our annual Children’s Concerts.
