In its 81st season, the Lansing Symphony is proud to present a wide variety of musical performances, ranging from our MasterWorks Series, which presents world-class guest artists and great works of the orchestral repertoire, to our Pops Series, which each year brings new audiences to the orchestra through popular music and exciting programming. Our Chamber Series, featuring small ensembles performing in intimate settings, brings the music closer to you. The Lansing Symphony Big Band plays the music of America s Greatest Generation, from Cole Porter to George Gershwin and much more. Once again, we are proud to collaborate with the MSU College of Music for Franz Joseph Haydn s Lord Nelson Mass at the beautiful St. Mary Cathedral. In addition to presenting the finest in orchestral performances, the Lansing Symphony Orchestra is committed to taking an active role in the development of music education programming for our community.
