Great Waters 2022 Program Book

Street Piano Project hits Wolfeboro and the Winnipesaukee Waves Can you hear it? The tickling of the keys all around town?

The brightly painted pianos of the Street Piano Project are a visible and hands-on way to engage our community in the joy of music.

Our pianos are placed throughout Wolfeboro to invite passersby to stop and play a few notes or a whole piece at their leisure.

This is the ninth summer of the Great Waters Street Piano Project and the debut of two newly painted pianos. "Notes," designed and painted by Marilyn and Randy Zimmerman, will be housed and cared for at Dockside Grille & Dairy Bar at the Wolfeboro Town Docks under the watchful eye of owner Gregg Roark.

"Sail On," designed and painted by Brewster Academy artists, will be housed on the Mount Washington to sail on through their 150th anniversary year. These two new pianos join the five others in the musical fleet. Last year, two other pianos came on the streets. The women's art group, Accidental Artists, comprised of Ilona Train, Maureen Minihan, Maureen Sherbeck, Natalie Trevor, Marilyn Bodwell, Marty Koons, Jane Kelly, Ann Tracy, Christina Sakai, Sally Fleming, and Jeri Von Stein, painted the gorgeous piano adorned with loons, moose, lupines, and herons. "Music around the Lake" is housed at Butternuts under the gentle care of Sally Hunter. Dorrie Sterndale’s “Flower Power” sits outside Winni Paw Station under the care of Diane Mullen, and other pianos are outside Paul Zimmerman’s office at Clarke Plaza, in front of the Chamber of Commerce at the Train Station under the guidance of Mary Wilson and inside the Wolfetrap Grill & Rawbar owned by Jim McDevitt.

Great Waters is grateful to our volunteer artists and shopkeepers who keep the music alive. We are looking for volunteers of any age who would like to be regulars, playing the piano when either the Mount is coming in to dock, or key events are happening downtown. If you would be interested, please get in touch with dougkiley@greatwaters.org.
