The organ was restored following the 2011 renovation of the theatre which opened on Thanksgiving Day\, 1924.

Star soloists from the Original Broadway Production will perform excerpts from “The Lion King”\, Zimmer’s most beloved box office smash hit. \nNo other composer has influenced the film world in the past two decades as much as the Oscar-\, Globe- and Emmy-winning composer Hans Zimmer with his staggering compositions for films such as “James Bond”\, “The Lion King”\, “Pirates of the Caribbean”\, “Gladiator”\, “The Dark Knight”\, “Man of Steel”\, “Inception”\, and “Interstellar”. \nHans Zimmer wrote the film scores of more than 200 movies\, won his second Oscar for “Dune” (2022)\, following his first Academy Award for “The Lion King” (1994).

Additionally\, the Symphony performs Tchaikovsky’s renowned Symphony No. 4 in F minor\, Op. 36. \nTrumpeter Michail Thompson has made orchestral debuts with top ensembles including the London Symphony Orchestra\, San Francisco Symphony\, Opera\, and Ballet\, and joined the National Symphony Orchestra as 2nd Trumpet in 2025. Mr. Thompson—who has spent summers as a fellow at storied institutions such as the Tanglewood Music Festival\, Music Academy of the West\, and the National Orchestral Institute—has performed with the Canadian Brass\, won the Vincent Bach Trumpet Competition\, and been a finalist at the National Trumpet Competition. \nMusical elixir\, inspired by tragedy \nRussian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky wrote his solemn and powerful Symphony No. 4 in F minor\, Op. 36 between 1877 and 1878. The work debuted in February of 1878 at a Russian Musical Society concert in Moscow\, with Nikolai Rubinstein as conductor. The fiery\, vast\, and rapturous symphony was met with early criticism\, most specifically from purists who felt the work did not adequately represent Russian musical values. Despite its early mixed reception\, the symphony grew into an orchestral standard\, and—to this day—remains one of the most frequently performed symphonies of the late 19th century. \nTchaikovsky’s personal and professional life was said to be marred by crises and depression. His separation from his mother at a young age for boarding school\, followed by her early death\, and the untimely deaths of family members and friends—including his dear colleague\, the aforementioned Rubinstein—all were contributors. Although celebrated in his lifetime\, Tchaikovsky felt neither beloved nor respected by critics and musical peers. During his life\, the composer—who kept his homosexuality private—endured a failed marriage to Antonina Miliukova\, a failed suicide attempt\, and the gutting collapse of his 13-year association with wealthy patroness Nadezhda von Meck.  \nSimilarly\, Vladimir Peskin’s musical compositions seem born of chaos and tumult. Little is known about Peskin’s life. What is known is that he lived in Geneva from 1914 to 1916 and received music lessons at the Académie de Musique de Genève after his father\, like many other Russian revolutionaries\, was exiled to Switzerland by the Stalin regime. The son of refugees\, Peskin would have to give up his early piano studies due to a hand disability caused by overuse\, at which point he turned primarily to composition. \nExperts suggest Anton Rubinstein as Peskin’s central role model\, and his teacher\, Samuil Feinberg—along with composer Sergei Rachmaninoff—are credited as influences in his well-known works. Peskin’s Trumpet Concerto No. 1 in C Minor has stood the test of time and is considered one of the most enduring trumpet concertos ever composed. \n\n \n Get Elkhart County Symphony Tickets URL:https://thelerner.com/event/elkhart-county-symphony-echoes-of-fate/ LOCATION:The Lerner Theatre\, 410 South Main Street\, Elkhart\, IN\, 46516\, United States CATEGORIES:Concert,Elkhart County Symphony,Featured ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://thelerner.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Echoes-1920x1080-1.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Elkhart County Symphony":MAILTO:elkhartsymphony@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20260403T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20260403T190000 DTSTAMP:20260825T101700 CREATED:20251115T021242Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260123T193831Z UID:10000362-1775242800-1775242800@thelerner.com SUMMARY:Celtic Woman: A New Era DESCRIPTION:Get Tickets\n \n \n \n \n \n \nGRAMMY-nominated global music sensation Celtic Woman proudly announces A New Era – Spring Tour 2026\, an all-new live show marking the next chapter in the globally acclaimed ensemble’s extraordinary journey.

Discovered singing on the streets of New York\, Cassandra Lucas and Charisse Rose rose to fame with their self-titled debut album\, featuring the smash hits “Stroke You Up” (Platinum\, Top 3 Billboard Hot 100) and “Foolin’ Around.” \nThey followed up with the gold-certified album All Day All Night\, led by their iconic #1 R&B hit “G.H.E.T.T.O.U.T.” With smooth harmonies\, attitude\, and undeniable chemistry\, Changing Faces remains a cornerstone of ’90s R&B. \n\nSurface\nOne of the most successful R&B groups of the late ’80s and early ’90s\, Surface delivered hit after hit that crossed seamlessly between R&B and pop charts. Known for classics like “Shower Me With Your Love\,” “Closer Than Friends\,” “Happy\,” and the chart-topping “The First Time\,” the group earned multiple #1 R&B singles and a platinum album with 2nd Wave. \nTheir signature blend of romance\, groove\, and polished production made Surface a radio staple—and their songs remain slow-jam essentials decades later. \n\nThe Force M.D.s\nPioneers of blending doo-wop harmonies with hip-hop beats\, The Force M.D.s helped shape the sound of modern R&B. Rising from New York street performances to becoming Tommy Boy Records’ first major act\, the group scored enduring hits like “Tender Love\,” “Love Is a House\,” and “Tears.” \n“Tender Love” became a crossover classic\, reaching the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 and cementing the group’s place in R&B history. \n\nMen of Vizion\nEmerging from Brooklyn in the mid-’90s\, Men of Vizion delivered smooth\, harmony-driven R&B reminiscent of the era’s great vocal groups. Their debut album Personal produced fan favorites like “House Keeper” and “Do Thangz\,” both of which made waves on the R&B charts. \nWith polished vocals and heartfelt lyrics\, Men of Vizion helped carry the torch of classic male R&B groups into a new generation. \n\nRude Boys\nDiscovered and championed by LeVert\, the Rude Boys became New Jack Swing standouts in the early ’90s. Their breakout hit “Written All Over Your Face” topped the R&B charts and crossed over to the Billboard Hot 100\, followed by additional #1 R&B hits including “Are You Lonely for Me.” \nBlending streetwise swagger with smooth harmonies\, the Rude Boys delivered the sound and style that defined the New Jack era. \n \n Get Tickets URL:https://thelerner.com/event/the-fire-place-rb-tour/ LOCATION:The Lerner Theatre\, 410 South Main Street\, Elkhart\, IN\, 46516\, United States CATEGORIES:Concert,Just Announced ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://thelerner.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/fire-place-RB-1920x1080-1.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20260410T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20260410T193000 DTSTAMP:20260825T101700 CREATED:20251202T203113Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260326T184631Z UID:10000370-1775849400-1775849400@thelerner.com SUMMARY:Classic Seger: Rock & Roll Never Forgets 2026 DESCRIPTION:Get Tickets\n \n \n \n \n \n \nCelebrating the 50th anniversary of Bob Seger’s iconic albums Live Bullet & Night Moves. \nClassic Seger brings their legendary tribute to Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band back on the road in 2026 celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Bob Seger’s iconic Multi Platinums Albums Live Bullet and Night Moves.Relive the magic of timeless hits and classic rock anthems in an unforgettable night of Rock & Roll\, featuring classic Live Bullet songs like \, Turn The Page\, Katmandu\, I’ve Been Workin along with Silver Bullet Band favorites Old TIme Rock & Roll \,Hollywood Nights\, Like a Rock and Roll Me Away.The show also features deep cuts that will satisfy the most die hard Bob Seger fan. \nGuaranteed to be a Rock & Roll show you will never forget! \nIf you’ve never been to a 1970’s Rock & Roll Show you owe it to yourself to see Classic Seger: Rock & Roll Never Forgets 2026 Live! \n\n \n Get Tickets URL:https://thelerner.com/event/classic-seger-rock-roll-never-forgets-2026/ LOCATION:The Lerner Theatre\, 410 South Main Street\, Elkhart\, IN\, 46516\, United States CATEGORIES:Concert ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://thelerner.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/TM-Lerner1920-x-1080-px.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20260412T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20260412T150000 DTSTAMP:20260825T101701 CREATED:20260114T194718Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260323T143905Z UID:10000377-1776006000-1776006000@thelerner.com SUMMARY:The Lerner Loves You: Grease - Rockin' Rydell Edition DESCRIPTION:The Lerner Theatre is proud to announce the return of The Lerner Loves You\, a free community movie series created as a heartfelt thank-you to the people of Elkhart and surrounding communities.
