The award, named for actress June Lockhart, is a humanitarian award presented annually by the L.A. Lawyers Phil. The orchestra and its chorus, Legal Voices, is composed of lawyers, judges, law students and legal staff. They performed Tchaikovsky’s “1812 Overture” and Rimsky-Korsakov’s “Scheherazade,” and saluted the centennial of Leonard Bernstein’s birth with selections from “West Side Story,” “On the Town” and “Candide.”  Proceeds benefitted the L.A. County Bar Association’s Council for Justice and the Beverly Hills Bar Foundation. For information, visit lalawyersphil.org.
