Lamorinda Idol finalists in soloist and group categories will compete at this free event throughout the day, culminating in the Lamorinda Idol 2017 winners being crowned in the elementary, middle and high school categories at 7 p.m.
"Lamorinda Idol is magical to me," shared Lamorinda Idol founder, Steven Hardwood. "I love seeing young people who are passionate about singing receive the unwavering support of their parents as well as our Idol judges, volunteers, sponsors, and audience members as they strive to nurture their artistic talents."
Audience members are an important part of the voting and will have the chance to cast votes Aug. 27 for their favorite Lamorinda finalists. Audience votes, combined with feedback from a local panel of musically experienced judges, will determine who will be crowned 2017 Lamorinda Idols.
"I continue to be amazed at the depth of singing talent in Lamorinda," explained Pam Whitman, a longtime Lamorinda Idol judge for LAC. "I admire the willingness of young children and teens to take the stage and give performing their all in public forums. I can't wait to see and hear the Aug. 27 Lamorinda Idol finalist performances."
