About the McCelvey Center’s Southern Sound Series:
Culture & Heritage Museums became stewards of the historic McCelvey Center in 2001. Since 2008, the McCelvey’s Lowry Family Theater has presented the unique heritage of the Carolina Piedmont through the performing arts while maintaining a quality venue for community enrichment. By 2013, the performances became an annual four concert season known as the Southern Sound Series.
