We Value Your Feedback
As we embark on a national-level search for a future Conductor and Music Director, we're launching an e-survey to collect feedback about your LSO concert experience this summer. The survey will be available at
www.lakesideohio.com/symphony after the first concert.
We also invite you to join us at our 'Meet the Conductor' Forums throughout the summer. Lakeside staff and key orchestra members will be gathering feedback on all candidates both at these forums and following each concert to assist in the evaluation process for a future Conductor and Music Director.
