SUMMARY:Lake Forest Civic Orchestra Sunday Concert series "The Battle for the Ballot"
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a concert of truly stirring music.

A Time to Vote by Gwyneth Walker will receive its Midwest premiere\, and will be paired with The Battle for the Ballot by Chicago-based Stacey Garrop. Both works are built around quotes from famous suffragettes and Garrop's piece\, written in the summer of 2020\, features quotes by famous black suffragettes as well\, a nod to racial tensions then and now.\n\n \n\nThese 2 works are bookended by pieces by African-American composers. Strum by Chicago Symphony Mead Composer-in-Residence Jessie Montgomery opens the program by blending pop and jazz styles into a work for string orchestra.
