It is with sadness but full hearts that we publicly announce that after 6 years, Lyrics by the Lake has officially come to an end. After much consideration, we believe that the show has run its course. We are beyond grateful for the overwhelming amount of love and support that this community has shown us from day 1. We could have never done something like this without you all showing up and showing out. We want to thank each and every person that ever purchased a ticket, a season pass, or a vendor spot. We are forever grateful for every artist that has graced the Lyrics by the Lake stage and shared their gifts with us and our audience! Thank you to every person who helped make Lyrics by the Lake all that it’s been.
We thank The NCMA, formerly known as the South Eastern Center for Contemporary Arts (SECCA) for graciously opening its doors to us until it had to close for renovations. We are appreciative of the partnership that we had with the Arts Council of Winston-Salem/Forsyth County for the past 7+ years, which financially helped us to bring this vision to fruition.
While it is bittersweet we recognize that sometimes good things must come to an end and year is 6 is the last chapter in the LBTL book. We accomplished something beautiful by creating opportunities for artists near and far to be paid for their gifts. For 6 seasons, we brought people together from multiple generations to laugh, sing and be in community with one another. We created a space where people felt safe, where people felt seen and where people felt heard.
If you purchased a ticket for the August show, you should have received a refund. For vendors who purchased a spot, we will be in touch soon, please be patient with us.
Again, thank you all for being the incredible “Lakers” that you’ve been! 🌊🌊🌊
