Guest Artist Teas
The opportunity to meet and hear Lake Forest Symphony guest artists in an intimate setting is a delightful Guild tradition. This season, the Guild is hosting Guest Artist Teas in local private homes at 1:30 PM on the Thursday afternoon before concert weekend.
The teas feature light refreshments, a short Guild business meeting, introduction of the concert weekend program and guest artist by Lake Forest Symphony Music Director, Alan Heatherington. The guest artist speaks about his or her instrument and life as an artist. A short musical program is typically featured.
Membership
Membership dues are $50 per year, payable September 1st. For practical purposes, the number of Guild members is limited and, when necessary, a waiting-list is formed. Currently, there are openings and new members are welcome.
