Great Lakes Regional 2018
The Great Lakes Regional Auditions was a celebration in honor of Linn Maxwell Keller, a local singer and actress who was known not only for her performance skills but for her tireless advocacy of music.
Linn was especially well-known for her teaching skills, bringing out the best in her students. Because of her passionate commitment to joy in singing, we are privileged to name the 2018 Great Lakes Regional Auditions in her honor.
