Cressey Center for the Arts

Symphony847 opens its 2026-27 season with Bach and Beyond on Saturday, November 7 at 7:30 PM at the Cressey Center for the Arts on the Lake Forest Academy campus, 1500 West Kennedy Road, Lake Forest. 
PROGRAM J.S. Bach: Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 (with a one-minute second movement by Anders Hillborg) Lawrence Axelrod: Brandenburg Fantasia No. 1 Intermission J.S. Bach: Brandenburg Concerto No. 5 J.S. Bach: Orchestral Suite No. 2, with solo flute Christopher Ramaekers, conductor
It's about an hour of music plus an intermission. Bach's own slow movement in the Third Brandenburg is just two chords, and a living composer's second movement sits in the middle of it. Chicago composer Lawrence Axelrod wrote his Fantasia as a companion to the Brandenburgs. The night ends with the Orchestral Suite and its famous Badinerie.
