Lakeshore Wind Ensemble Association
Enriching Musical Arts
Since 1987, the Lakeshore Wind Ensemble Association (LWEA) has supported our bands.
Our goal is to support musical arts in the lakeshore community through scholarship programs, youth and community outreach and live performances by the Lakeshore Wind Ensemble and Lakeshore Big Band.
How We Support Music
We've awarded over $90,250 in scholarships to student musicians since 1988! Currently, we have three awards that recognize both our student musicians and local supporters of the arts.
Concert Programs
We publish a full-color concert program for each concert. Local businesses are invited to place ads to promote their business and help support the arts. If you or your business would like to place an ad in our concert program for the season, please contact Ruthann Ross, Advertising Sales Coordinator, at 920-683-4733.
Donations
Your donation will help LWEA continue to grow and support young musicians and the arts in our local community. As a thank you, donations of $100 or more will receive complimentary tickets. Ticket vouchers will be mailed to donors and can be redeemed or transferred to another individual at the Capitol Civic Centre Box Office.
