The Lake Norman Orchestra, (LKNO), conducted by Maestro Eduardo Cedeño, a non-profit community organization, was founded in 2002.  Originally developed as an adult community group of 20 musicians, the LKNO now embraces those community musicians who desire to improve their musicianship, share their talent with their peers and provide quality entertainment throughout the Piedmont region of North Carolina.  With more than 65 active members ranging in age from 14 to 70+, the LKNO is committed to collaboration and outreach with artists from the community, local schools and universities who often participate as guest soloists.  The LKNO performs from six to eight concerts a year, beginning in March and continuing through early December and it's musical repertoire is as diverse as its membership. Rehearsals are held every Monday evening, from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. in facilities graciously donated by the Peninsula Baptist Church in Mooresville.    www.lknorchestra.org
