Annual Fireside Fundraiser & Concert!

Autumn is settling in, and there's no cozier way to open our 12th season than gathered around the fire with good food, good drinks, and great music! Join Lakeshore Rush for our annual Fireside Fundraiser and Concert on Saturday, November 21 at Lakeshore Rush Headquarters, 1216 W Sherwin Ave apt 1, Chicago, IL 60626, USA. The evening begins at 6PM, music starts at 7PM.

This year, we're shaking things up. Instead of the familiar lineup you know and love, we're presenting an entire evening of string quartets. Featuring our very own Chris Ferrer (cello), Janice Lee (violin), our marketing director Rachel Smith (viola), alongside our friend Joanna Nerius (violin), they'll perform works by Amy Wurtz, Amos Gillespie, and the legendary Philip Glass.

Come hungry and thirsty! Dinner will be provided, along with plenty of delicious beverages. Settle in, fill a plate, raise a glass, and enjoy a warm, intimate evening of chamber music as we kick off another season together. Don't miss this intimate night by the fire!
