The incandescent Lakeside Pride Symphonic Band is eager to start our next concert cycle. In our season’s latest theme, “Rise,” our sound fans the flame of change. With BIPOC composer Kevin Day’s Requiem for the Unarmed, we pay tribute and respect to the lives lost to racial injustice in our country. We’ll fight for the future of our Mother Earth in Catherine Likhuta’s Planet B. Then take a trip to the pits of despair in Robert W. Smith’s The Inferno from the “Divine Comedy.” And when we think all hope is lost, Igor Stravinsky’s Firebird Suite will stoke the dying embers, a reminder that good will always triumph over evil. You’ll be inspired by these pieces and more as we ignite change in others striving for a better tomorrow.
