The Lake Superior Chamber Orchestra (LSCO) hosted a special ribbon cutting ceremony in partnership with the Duluth Area Chamber of Commerce on July 25, at Weber Music Hall, University of Minnesota-Duluth. This event commemorated LSCO’s membership in the Duluth Area Chamber of Commerce and marked an exciting new chapter for classical music in the community. Current conductor and Music Director, Ho-Yin Kowk was officially passed the baton by LSCO founder and former Artistic Director, Warren Friesen.

The final concert of the 2024 season followed the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony and included a performance by soloist James Zabawa-Martinez, The Quartet Project collaboration with area youth musicians for two side-by-side pieces (conducted by Warren Friesen), and a momentous celebration of LSCO’s founder by the Board. To commemorate his numerous achievements and dedication to the LSCO, Warren Friesen was conferred upon Conductor Emeritus and the Quartet Project scholarship was renamed the Warren Friesen Scholarship in his honor.
