WOLFEBORO — Great Waters Summer Concerts is thrilled to announce its 30th-anniversary gala, “Great Waters Got Talent,” a celebratory evening set for Thursday, July 9, from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Grayson Student Center located on the Brewster campus.

This sparkle-filled night will proudly spotlight Barbara and Dave Lobdell Scholarship recipients, showcasing spectacular vocal and instrumental performances. Jazz on the Grayson patio during the lakeside cocktail hour will launch the festivities, with intimate musical vignettes delighting guests throughout the evening.

A plated dinner by Suzanne Trice of Sweetwater Kitchen, a delicious dessert bar, and exciting silent and live auctions will round out this unforgettable evening of celebration. All proceeds will help power the organization’s ongoing musical performances at Castle in the Clouds in Moultonborough and at Brewster Academy in Wolfeboro.

This gala is the shining centerpiece of Great Waters’ fundraising efforts, celebrating three decades of community musical programming and helping inspire the next generation of regional talent. Performances by scholarship recipients spanning vocal, instrumental, musical theater, and Broadway standards will surely be among the evening’s highlights. Exciting silent and live auctions raising essential funds for youth music programs will feature opening-night theater tickets in Boston, local restaurant and spa gift certificates, exclusive golf outings, artwork by local artists, and much more.

“We’re thrilled to celebrate our 30th anniversary by showcasing some of our extraordinary scholarship winners,” said Barbara Lobdell, board chair of Great Waters Summer Concerts. “The evening will be a joyful tribute to our history and a powerful investment in the talented young artists who will carry our communities’ love of music forward.”

“This gala is our largest and most inspiring fundraiser of the year,” Executive Director Joan Myers added. “The support we receive at this event directly enables us to bring high-quality performances to the Lakes Region while also offering meaningful scholarships for aspiring musicians living in the area.”

Great Waters Music Festival is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to present live concerts of diverse genres for the enjoyment of music lovers throughout the Lakes Region.
