Lakeview Orchestra
Our Story
The Lakeview Orchestra was formed in 2013 by founding Artistic Director and conductor Gregory Hughes and has been recognized as “Chicago’s premier non-professional orchestra” (Chicago Classical Review). Since its foundation, the orchestra has presented acclaimed performances that engage, entertain, and educate. The orchestra is home to professionally-trained musicians that revel at opportunities to perform a diverse variety of music — from established masterworks to pieces written expressly for the ensemble.
Mission
The mission of the Lakeview Orchestra is to engage, entertain, and educate audiences through symphonic music, provide an opportunity for Chicago area musicians to develop and perform, and strengthen the appreciation for and understanding of classical music in the Lakeview community and beyond.
