The Cedar Valley is fortunate to have a wide variety of entertainment offerings, including local sports teams and art/cultural offerings. Lincoln Savings Bank (LSB) is proud to support a number of these local organizations, including the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Symphony Orchestra (WCFSO). LSB’s core value of “passionate community stewardship” fits well with the Waterloo - Cedar Falls Symphony’s mission “to educate, entertain and enrich the listeners by presenting performances of the highest quality”.

LSB’s support of the symphony includes a sponsorship for one of the Symphony’s events every season. In November 2009, LSB sponsored the Symphony’s performance of Gustav Mahler’s music. Mike McCrary, 1st Vice President of Marketing at LSB, volunteers on the Symphony Board of Directors, and attended the Mahler performance. "As usual, director Jason Weinberger delivered on the symphony's motto ‘expect the unexpected’, bringing Mahler to life in a brand new way. I have no doubt the upcoming season will be just as thrilling".

Fans of Mahler or the WCFSO can even download a ringtone of Mahler’s Symphony no. 5, Scherzo, performed by the WCFSO from the symphony website.

For the upcoming 2010-2011 season, LSB will be sponsoring The Texas Tenors for a Holiday Pops performance on December 11, 2010 at Gallagher-Bluedorn Performing Arts Center. The Texas Tenors were featured on NBC’s America’s Got Talent last season. They deliver a show filled with a unique blend of country, gospel and classical music while also mixing in humor and cowboy charm. The holidays will be here before we know it, so get your tickets early for this performance! Individual performance tickets go on sale August 2, but WCFSO season ticket holders can order additional single tickets before they go on sale to the public during courtesy days July 19-23. Visit the symphony website for more information. http://www.wcfsymphony.org/.
