Lake Union Civic Orchestra

What started as an informal gathering soon grew into something more. Inspired by Fred Hutch patient and local professional musician Elaine Scotty Banks, the ensemble organized, began giving public performances, and eventually became what we know today as your Lake Union Civic Orchestra. If that s not community, we don t know what is. Three decades later, the same spirit of curiosity, community, and shared music-making is still at the heart of our beloved LUCO. For our 30th Anniversary Season, we re celebrating how far we ve come while still looking ahead to what s next. Music from LUCO s fledgling years returns alongside works new to the orchestra and our audience, including world premieres, another exciting LUCO commission, guest artists, community collaborations, and a few special surprises.
