As part of its three-year partnership with Brewster Academy, Great Waters recently announced its Concerts in Town Series for 2024. Fulfilling a promise made during Covid, the organization said that as soon as the slowing of the pandemic allowed, they would bring performances back to Wolfeboro and the campus where it all began over 28 years ago.
This summer, Great Waters will feature three outstanding performances: two at the Pinckney Boathouse and one at the beautiful, newly reimagined Rogers Building, which has been aptly renamed the Grayson Student Center in honor of the Grayson Family, who played an instrumental role in the renovation of this historic building.
Kristy Kerin, Brewster’s Head of School, says she is pleased to continue Brewster’s longstanding relationship with Great Waters by hosting several concerts on campus this summer. “The Great Waters Concert Series not only brings a range of great musicians into our community, it also brings the community together for wonderful evenings of camaraderie and connection.” This year’s Concerts in Town series is once again sponsored in part by the Curvey Family Foundation.
Leading off the series will be a return performance of The Empire Trio on July 17th at the Grayson Student Center. Back by popular demand after a sold-out performance last year, the trio will perform their newest show, You Raise Me Up, featuring the music made famous by the legendary Josh Groban and his best-known contemporaries Celine Dion, Andrea Bocelli, and Sarah Brightman.
On August 14th, fan-favorite Rebecca Robbins will perform 21 Oscar-winning songs from The Oscar Songbook at The Pinckney Boathouse. Rebecca is a Broadway actress, headline vocalist, cabaret artist, and co-host of the podcast series Historically Speaking along with her husband, Kim Kimmel. She has appeared on Broadway in “The Tale of Two Cities” and “The Phantom of the Opera” in addition to seven off-Broadway shows and one National Tour. A native of West Virginia, Rebecca and her husband often spend time at their summer home in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire.
Also at the Pinckney, the Concerts in Town Series will close on August 24th with a performance by the highly acclaimed Toomai String Quintet. Founded in 2007 at The Julliard School, this highly trained quintet is devoted to performing music from their classical and contemporary repertoire while exploring and arranging music from around the world.
Great Waters’ Concerts in Town is just one of the summer performance series offered. The Concerts in the Clouds series offers six performances in their acoustic tent on the spectacular grounds of the Castle in the Clouds in Moultonborough.
Tickets for Concerts in Town and Concerts in the Clouds may be purchased either as a series or as individual tickets by going online to www.greatwaters.org or calling the Great Waters office at 603-569-7710. Great Waters is a 503(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to bringing outstanding musical performances to those living in and visiting the Lakes Region of New Hampshire.
