ABOUT THIS SEASON

Lakeside Pride Music Ensembles invites you to examine the duality of humanity with our 29th season - “Harmony and Discord.”

Lebanese-American poet Kahlil Gibran once wrote that we “are suspended like scales between sorrow and joy.” These emotions profoundly impact the decisions we make, and in turn, we are bombarded with each other’s symphonies and cacophonies. It is through organizations like Lakeside Pride that members can celebrate the harmonious times and support through the discordant times, however overwhelming they may be. Join us in exploring how our community embraces this polarity, keeping a constant eye on the horizon together.
