Germantown Performing Arts Center (GPAC) has a lot to celebrate! Thirty years ago, Ray Charles set the bar high with GPAC's inaugural performance, immediately defining this center as a place where excellence is the norm and where the world comes to perform. Lyle Lovett and His Large Band helped make their 30th Season Celebration enormously successful! The sellout audience enjoyed complimentary bubbles and chocolate in the Patrick Lawton Lobby before Mr. Lovett and his incredible large band filled the Highland Capital Performance Hall with music, stories, and laughter. GPAC's Director of Development, Parke Kennedy, took the stage before the show to reflect on the organization's 30-year journey and to announce their exciting new relationship with naming rights sponsor Highland Capital Management. GPAC and Highland Capital have many shared values and a strong commitment to serve the community. Both parties look forward to more fruitful years of presenting the highest quality artistic endeavors to educate, engage, enrich, and transform. gpacweb.com
