Title
Orland Park Concert Event - The City Lights Orchestra
History
On June 30, 2013, the Village will host the first of two 2013 concert events at Centennial Park West in Colette Highlands. The second concert event is scheduled for September 1, 2013 and will have live music from different genre to bring some variety.
The event is made possible through Village funding in the FY13 budget and also through generous sponsors including Mayor McLaughlin, AAA Insurance, the Aileen S. Andrew Foundation, The Orland Park Prairie, and a grant from the Music Performance Fund as recommended by The City Lights Orchestra.
The City Lights Orchestra played the concert held at this location in 2011 and 2012. The event brought in a very large crowd who enjoyed the music, sunshine and ambiance of Centennial Park West. The City Lights Orchestra and its conductor Rich Daniels have been together since 1974, bringing popular American music and accomplished performers to communities like ours all over the country. The orchestra will play from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. This is a family event and patrons are encouraged to bring their blanket, lawn chairs and a picnic to enjoy popular music of this renowned orchestra.
The Orchestra handles the payment for all the musicians and through the grant available through the Music Performance Fund; additional funds are available for events that are held free for the community. By receiving the grant, the Village will be able to pay at the Community Service Scale which is about 30% of fair market value for the orchestra.
The Village will pay $7,247.47 to CITY LIGHTS MUSIC INC. on the day of the event. The grant fund will then send the Village a check for $1,811.87 to help defray the total expense.
On June 3, 2013, this item was reviewed by the Parks and Recreation Committee, recommended for approval and referred to the Village Board of Trustees for consideration.
