In 2001, William and Nanette Haraden and Todd and Cheryl Lary moved to the area, and set about creating a permanent orchestra that exemplifies the community\u2019s sense of cultural life, while delivering an eclectic mix of classics and new sounds. In May 2003, the 20-member Lake Norman Orchestra, then conducted by Haraden, gave its first performance, and woke up the sleepy lakeside community with its vibrant symphony and musical passion. Later, as the orchestra matured, Music Director Joshua Stevenson took the baton, and the orchestra continued to add more performances.<\/h5> <div style=\"background-color:;height: 40px\" class=\"nicdark_section  \"><\/div>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1656440957122{margin-top: -30px !important;}&#8221;] <h5 style=\"color:#595959;padding:px;text-align:;font-size:16px;line-height:26px;letter-spacing: px;font-weight:normal\" class=\"   nd_options_second_font \">In 2012, members of the orchestra took it\u2019s first concert tour in Vienna and Salzburg, Austria. The orchestra continues to grow, with it\u2019s inclusion of high school and collegiate-level musicians who want to complement to their regular studies and hone their musical skills. The Lake Norman Orchestra currently serves South Iredell, North Mecklenburg, East Lincoln and West Cabarrus counties and performs throughout the year, beginning in March and continuing through early December.
