Lakeshore Rush is a Chicago-based ensemble that comprises five extraordinary musicians from across the Midwest. Their mission is to provide high-quality performances of new and traditional classical music, championing underperformed works, commissioning new repertoire, and increasing access for new audiences to classical and contemporary music. Lakeshore Rush is named after a previously endangered species of grass indigenous to the shores of Lake Michigan. Since its founding in 2014, the group has become known for its riveting performances, programming innovation, and synergistic collaboration.
Sunlit is a musical exploration of humanity's relationship with nature, performed at the Garfield Park Conservatory, one of the largest and most stunning botanical conservatories in the nation. Musical selections will explore the ever-present influence of the sun and its cycles, the seasons, animal life, and our inescapable need to take an active role in preserving nature.
Automated live captioning is available for this program.
The livestream will take place at 4pm Central / 2pm Pacific.
