Great Waters, Wolfeboro Friends of Music joint fundraiser concert features Gary McGloin & Friends

WOLFEBORO ― Don't miss this opportunity to listen to songs and storytelling by Gary McGloin and his friends on Saturday, March 14, at 4 p.m. at the First Congregational Church of Wolfeboro. The concert is a unique opportunity to attend a joint fundraiser presented by the Great Waters Summer Concerts and the Wolfeboro Friends of Music in support of educational programs and scholarships for students.

Gary McGloin, the "man about town," is known for his many charms. He has fed guests many splendors from his catering, tales of hobnobbing with the famous, and entertaining with that magnificent singing range. McGloin has loved singing since he first sang in school musicals. As an adult, he attended Italian opera vocal classes in Boston. After moving to Florida, he combined his restaurant life with theater by singing Broadway show tunes while tossing Caesar salad tableside and sautéing Steak Diane.

After his return to New Hampshire, Gary has sung in many churches, at memorial services, at weddings, and at organizations. He will delight guests with his love of music and storytelling, all while giving back to the community that loves him so.

Talented friends Michelle Lowes and Andy Campbell will also entertain by joining McGloin onstage.

Lowes has made Wolfeboro her home for almost 20 years. She retired from the U.S. Army after 21 years and enjoys spending time with her family and serving her community. A lifelong vocalist, she has performed the National Anthem at various venues, including the Whittemore Center Arena, Fisher Cats Stadium, SNHU Arena, and Fenway Park. She has also been the music director for Kingswood Children’s Summer Theater for several years.

Campbell, conductor, composer, and pianist, earned a bachelor’s degree in musical composition and theory at the University of Lowell and two master’s degrees in choral conducting from the Yale School of Music. While there, he received the Philip Nelson Prize, the Marshall Bartholomew Scholarship, and the Charles Ives Scholarship for excellence in choral conducting and musical entrepreneurship. He has written and performed hundreds of pieces of music. For the past 25 years, he has served as the artistic director of Clearlakes Chorale.

Tickets can be purchased on the Great Waters website at greatwaters.org, on the Friends of Music website at wfriendsofmusic.org, or at the church before the performance. All proceeds will be evenly split between these two outstanding music groups and used for their respective educational programs.
