The only safe way is to use a touch through glass screen like the zytronic ones. That way it can be in a water proof case.

You could use a ruggedized android or windows tablet.  It may limit the screen size to around 10 to 12 inches.

You could even use the tablet as a remote to run the front end and have the pc playing the music tucked away some place safe and dry. 

Another idea would be to look for a kiosk computer used for outdoors, like in an ATM.

ELO has some touchscreen overlays that can operate through glass.
