17th Annual Mount Dora Music Festival

A million thanks to the various performers and attendees of 17th Annual Mount Dora Music Festival, and a very special thanks to our sponsors and contributors who made it all possible. We appreciate the efforts of all who participated in making this event successful. It was a pleasure seeing and visiting with some returning friends and having an opportunity to make new ones.

We would also like to extend our sincere congratulations to the winners of the Teen Music Talent Contest and add a special thank you to the volunteer mentors for their assistance in helping prepare the students. Five students each received a $500 Gregory & Barbara Phillips Music Scholarship prize for their talents during the Music Festival. The winners are:

• Debbie Diep – Pianist, 12th grade, Tavares High School
• Jonathan Lindamood – Vocalist, 12th grade, Tavares High School
• Keegan Neverett – Vocalist, 12th grade, Mount Dora High School
• Emily Peterson – Flutist, 12th grade, Tavares High School
• Lindsey Peterson – Pianist, 10th grade, Tavares High School

We wish them — and every contestant — much success in future musical endeavors.

We are busy wrapping up this year's event and will soon begin working on next year's festival and look forward to seeing you again soon. Be sure to check the link to our Music Fest photo album for scenes from this year's concerts!

Thanks to all for making music happen!
