| Robert Cronquist Celebrates 45 Years with the Lakeside Symphony Orchestra |
|
 Robert L. Cronquist was at Lakeside this past May to complete preparations, which he began in the fall, for the 52nd season of the Lakeside Symphony
Orchestra (LSO).
This will be Cronquist's
45th year as Music Director of the LSO - a position that also includes managing the business side of the orchestra, an institution which Shirley Stary, senior vice president of Programming, calls a "crown jewel" of Lakeside's
programming.
In honor of his 45th year, a celebration of his time with the
orchestra will take place during the opening night reception.
Lakesiders are encouraged to continue to support the LSO to ensure future generations will benefit from its artistic contributions.
Donate online or contact advancement@lakesideohio.com or (419) 798-5396.
Cronquist came to Lakeside in 1970. As the Director of the Mansfield Symphony at that time, he heard that William Penny Hacker (the founder and first conductor of the LSO) had left suddenly.
