Guest conductor Alexandra Enyart makes her Lake County Symphony Orchestra debut this February. Praised by the Chicago Theatre Review as “one of Chicago's greatest operatic gifts” and by Chicago Classical Review as “a podium talent to watch,” Enyart currently serves as Artistic Director of Chicago City Opera and has conducted for companies including The Atlanta Opera, Opera Santa Barbara, and the Australian Contemporary Opera Company. She is a Chicago Sinfonietta Fellow and a “Turn the Spotlight” fellow under Chicago Opera Theatre music director Lidiya Yankovskaya, and serves on the Artistic Advisory Council for American Opera Projects.

Enyart made her international debut with the Tomsk Philharmonic Orchestra in Russia in 2016 while completing her Master of Music in Orchestral Conducting at the University of Louisville, where she also served as apprentice conductor with the Louisville Orchestra and Kentucky Opera and as Assistant Conductor of the Louisville Youth Orchestra. She won the CODA Conducting Competition in 2017 and the Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music's Mozart Overture Conducting Competition in 2018.

A committed champion of new music, Enyart has helped bring works including As One, When Adonis Calls, and Patience and Sarah to the stage, and continues to support emerging singers through her work with the Chicago Vocal Arts Consortium, where she has led productions of La finta giardiniera, Die Entführung aus dem Serail, and L'elisir d'amore. She considers conducting both an honor and a privilege, and brings that same care to every company she works with.
