James Lumber Center, College of Lake County 19351 W Washington St, Grayslake, IL 60030

The Lake County Symphony Orchestra opens its 2026–27 season, “Life, in Four Movements,” on Saturday, September 12 with New Worlds — a program of discovery featuring Beethoven, Louise Farrenc, and Mendelssohn, led by guest conductor Jennifer Huang. 
Every great journey starts with a single step into the unknown — and this season, LCSO takes that step four different ways. New Worlds opens with Beethoven's Creatures of Prometheus, the myth of fire stolen from the gods and given to humanity: creation itself as a season-opening fanfare. From there we travel to a genuinely new world for most audiences — the overture of Louise Farrenc, a 19th-century composer whose music is only now getting the hearing it always deserved. Mendelssohn's Hebrides Overture carries us to the wind and spray of a Scottish sea cave he visited as a young traveler, and we close with the world Beethoven himself was just discovering: his own voice, in the confident, forward-looking Symphony No. 1.
Three composers, four kinds of discovery — mythic, historical, geographic, and personal. It's the perfect way to open a season built on possibility.

Egan said, &ldquo;Nannette, Sheena and Nicole are consummate professionals and such an asset to our industry, not to mention our company and the Libertyville office. The way they work with their clients, treating them like friends and family, is exactly how we feel business should be done. I know they will fit right in. On behalf of our Libertyville office agents and staff, we wholeheartedly welcome them and believe the best is yet to come."
&ldquo;Jill and her team have an engaged, personal and high touch approach that really resonates with Sheena, Nicole and me. It lends a boutique feel to the North Region offices that we appreciate and, while it&rsquo;s hard to describe, you know it when you feel it. New tools like Maestro, the new BHHS digital platform, enable agents to spend more of their time with clients than on administrative functions. We are having fun learning its ins and outs along with the rest of our colleagues and can&rsquo;t wait to get started.&rdquo; said Porter.
