Chicago-based Lakeshore Rush to perform at St. Charles Public Library music series

The St. Charles Public Library's Sunday Concert series continues on Sunday, Jan. 29, with a special performance by Lakeshore Rush.

Comprised of extraordinary musicians from Chicago, Lakeshore Rush has been delighting audiences of all ages with riveting contemporary and classical standards and forgotten masterpieces, characterized by programmatic innovation, synergistic collaborative partnerships, and intimate performances.

They will perform compositions written in the late 19th century through 21st century, including works by Clara Schumann, Johannes Brahms, Nicolai Kapustin, and William Bolcom.

The concert will begin at 2 p.m. in the Carnegie Community Room of the library, 1 S. Sixth Ave.

Lakeshore Rush takes its name from a previously endangered lakeshore grass that has recently revitalized Lake Michigan's shores in Chicago. Like the renewal of this plant, the resurgence of contemporary classical music has taken root and flourished in Chicago's music culture.

This event is part of the library's Sunday Concert Series, featuring a wide variety of live musical performances.

In February, the series continues with the Ariana Duo presenting the finest in classical music on Feb. 5. On Feb. 19, the K & A Trio, a fun, energetic three-person ensemble, featuring vocals, piano, violin, and bass.

This Jan. 29 and Feb. 5 performances are funded through donations to the St. Charles Public Library Foundation. The public is welcome, and the concert is free to attend.
