The group was founded in 1977 specifically to encourage good music in Lake County including supporting youth music activities and fostering a local symphony.
Both these goals have been met, with the general acknowledgment that the symphony, under the direction of John Parkinson, is now among the finest in Northern California.
CLPA also supports the CLPA Youth Ochestra under the direction of Wes Follett, as well as providing scholarships for worthy students and helping to fund a new in-school music education program developed by Sue Condit and Andi Skelton and members of the Konocti Fiddle Club.
CLPA has also sponsored scores of concerts during its 32-year history, featuring world class artists of every musical description.
The next one will feature classical guitarist David Burgess appearing in concert on Oct. 4 at the Galilee Lutheran Church in Kelseyville.
Brewer asks that those planning to attend the annual meeting confirm by e-mail to
