Lucia Melnick
1926 - 2023
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of a cherished member of our community, Lucia Melnick, who left us at the remarkable age of 97. Lucia was not just a pillar of our community but a fervent supporter of music and the arts, leaving an indelible mark on the cultural landscape of Kenora.
Lucia dedicated many years of her life to the promotion and nurturing of local talent. Her unwavering commitment to music and the arts was exemplified by her role as the president of the Kenora Festival of the Arts. Her leadership and passion were instrumental in making the festival a thriving cultural event.
Beyond her role with the festival, Lucia also took it upon herself to organize numerous music concerts and events throughout the years. Her vision and determination brought the joy of music to countless individuals, fostering a deep appreciation for the arts within our community.
In Lucia's memory, her family has designated the Lake of the Woods Concert Group as the recipient of donations. This is a fitting tribute to a woman who dedicated her life to the musical and artistic enrichment of our community.

“Michael is one of the best pianists in the country. When it comes to boogie-woogie, I don’t know anyone better,” says co-songwriter, bass player, and producer Ron Lopata.
“But Michael can also play classical pieces, blues, pop…. all at a top-tier level….his vocals have a real sincerity to them, and a charm in how he phrases things. His topics are on the positive side, as he really looks at the world in a positive light. That comes out authentically in the music.”
Michael has said “Using different pianos is like talking to different people. You just see it as a different kind of conversation with an instrument that might challenge you. It’s up to me to show this piece of furniture who is boss,” he laughs. We are excited to be introducing him to the fine Grand Dame of Knox!
