Virtual Street Piano Project
Studies show that music can help reduce anxiety, help with stress management and is a proven form of relaxation, not to mention it generates smiles and brings people together.
Usually our small but mighty fleet of pianos is deployed throughout Wolfeboro, from Memorial Day to Labor Day, with each brightly painted piano sitting proudly outside of businesses waiting for you to stop and play a few notes or a whole piece!
This year we are doing things differently!

2021 Summer Concert Series

Peter Cincotti
When Peter Cincotti sits down at a piano it’s as if the world is at his fingertips. A born and bred New Yorker, Cincotti’s debut album reached #1 on the Billboard jazz charts, making 18-year old Cincotti the youngest artist ever to do so. Since then, Peter has performed in some of the world’s most prestigious venues from Carnegie Hall to L’Olympia in Paris, collaborated with artists ranging from Andrea Bocelli to David Guetta.
Peter Cincotti has morphed genres and blended influences in a variety of ways, but his story currently unfolds over uncharted terrain on his latest release, Long Way From Home. It is an upbeat blend of musical styles that brings active, rhythmic piano playing back into the landscape of modern music.

Classic Albums
Live performs:
The Eagles
Hotel California
Note for note
A review by Janice Hubbell, Blogger: As Classic Albums Live band came on stage and the lights dimmed, I closed my eyes and was immediately transported back in time to 1976 while listening to the Eagles Hotel California vinyl record on my turntable. Beginning with the title track, every note and rhythm of each song was replicated perfectly. The lead vocals, haunting melodies and beautiful harmonies were eerily accurate. The band did not wear cheesy costumes or speak as the music faded away into the next song. The audience, during the album’s genuine and authentic performance, was quiet and appreciative, no doubt on the same nostalgic journey I was.

Justin McKinney
Carolyn Plummer
These two are the funniest people in NH. Juston was born in Portsmouth and Carolyn is a Wolfeboro native... When NH magazine named Juston “Best of NH” they wrote, “The Granite State may have more famous comedians than you can shake a stick at (Seth Meyers, Sarah Silverman, and Adam Sandler to name a few) but no one really “gets” New England humor like Juston McKinney.”
Carolyn pulls material from the hum-drum, day-to-day monotony of the life of every man; and she does it well. To Carolyn the monumental is easy... it's our existence that's so hard, yet so ridiculous. Some women look in the mirror and complain that they aren't pretty enough, not rich enough, not young enough. Carolyn gives her reflection on the finger.

Kate Baldwin
Hailed as “the redheaded firecracker” (Stephen Holden, New York Times), Kate Baldwin was nominated for the 2017 Tony, Drama Desk, and Outer Critics Circle Awards for her performance as Irene Molloy in the 2017 Broadway revival of Hello Dolly!
Kate’s new show titled How Did You Get This Number? features signature songs from her acclaimed career including Finian’s Rainbow, Giant, Big Fish, and Hello Dolly! More from writers like Stephen Sondheim, Kander & Ebb, Frank Loesser, and long-time friend and collaborator Georgia Stitt fill the program with gorgeous music and expert storytelling.
“We suppose there are some things that Baldwin cannot do, but over the past decade we have yet to see her be anything but superb,” says Steven Suskin of Playbill.
