Just like Mercedes, BMW, Bentley and Rolls Royce are continually restyling their brands, making themselves appealing to a new and contemporary market…so too must an orchestra that performs for the purpose of getting people up on a dance floor and giving them the best time they ever had.

Michael Lerich and His Orchestra have continually “restyled” their look with young contemporary musicians and are consistently updating the material they play to ensure they stay “cutting edge” current, all the while maintaining the reputation and reliability of the above mentioned brands. Michael himself continues to demonstrate the strength of a “tried and true” brand in his brilliance for taking the look and cutting edge sound in order to do what he does better than anyone else…time and pace the party.

Michael has produced and orchestrated the music and entertainment for everything from the most recent Children’s Ball for Children’s Memorial Hospital (and 4 before this), Richard Driehaus’ July and December events for 7 straight years, The Serendipity on Stage Performers at the Chicago Theater and Millennium Park, even President Bill Clinton's Inaugural Ball! There are just too many events to list here – the perfect bio for Michael is a look at his Client list and Testimonials. They speak for themselves.

All this aside, the mainstay of Michael’s work is the wedding. From Ceremony, Cocktails through dinner and the party…he demonstrates the above accolades in the creativity of ideas as to instrumentation, music selection, and the thing he prides himself most on…the way he “times and paces”a party. Michael and his most talented group of musicians and singers have been known to play close to 3 hours without a break between songs! Not just be on the bandstand for that length of time, but from start to finish there was never a break between songs. Others will say they play “continuous music”…Michael Lerich and His Orchestra play music “continuously.”

Michael's talented group of musicians and singers are the best at what they do, and continually adapt their material to make it most appropriate for your audience. They are masters at creating a seamless flow of entertainment, setting the proper tempo for your affair to keep guests dancing. No matter what the event, Michael will meet personally to discuss your vision. Having many years of experience, he will work to provide his expertise in creating an exceptional event for you and your guests - from the moment they arrive, until the last note is played.

Nothing is more personal than your wedding! And no one is more personable than Michael. Call him, talk to him, get to know him, and let him get to know you. He will tell you his history and answer any and all questions you might have. One thing he can promise you, questions you never thought to ask will be answered and questions you do ask will be answered beyond your comfort and satisfaction.

"Throughout the changes in music and indeed individual tastes, I have remained at the very top of the list in being able to satisfy the look, the sound, the feel, and above all the unbroken rhythm of any private function.  My band has consistently reinvented itself over and over again…for each party we play…because each party is unique in its own way. Our talent to flawlessly recreate songs from any era combined with my ability to properly tempo the evening in order keep the dance floor packed all night long have been two constant elements that set us apart from the rest of the field and keeps us on top of referral lists. Just like the buyer of a Bentley or a Rolls…they want to drive the best...and I am proud to say that the brand “Michael Lerich and His Orchestra” has always meant the best!"
