LPAA names officers to board and announces 2015-16 concerts
All of the officers bring experience and a passion for the arts to their responsibilities of leadership of the organization. That same passion is shared by the rest of the board members, the group said in a press release.
For the sixth year, the board is augmented by the addition of two students from Lakeland Union High School -Jamie Steiner and Seth Weldon - who serve in an advisory capacity to the board. In addition, Katelyn Robbins, a student at Nicolet College, will continue to serve the board in an advisory capacity.
The 2015-16 season marks the 34th year the Lakeland Performing Arts Association has sponsored first-class live entertainment for the greater Lakeland area. All performances are held in the auditorium at Lakeland Union High School, 9573 Hwy. 70 West, Minocqua, and begin at 7 p.m.
This year's LPAA series is once again filled with variety, energy, and talented artists.
This season's concert season series opens on Thursday, Sept. 17 with a Tribute to Neil Diamond featuring Denny Diamond and the Jewels. In addition to the Neil Diamond songs, they will perform other well-known songs from that era.
Other 2015-16 concerts include Gary Mauer, a broadway vocalist on Tuesday, Nov. 17; Southeast Alaskan Odyssey, a family string band performing American-roots music favorites on Thursday, January 28, 2016; The Five Aces, Britain's Finest Swing Band playing songs by famous artists such as Dean Martin and Louis Armstrong on Friday, April 1, 2016; and Fascinating Rhythms of the World with Alex Meixner, accordionist and his band on Tuesday, May 3, 2016.
