SUMMARY:Charleston's Lowcountry Voices presents "Black Broadway"
DESCRIPTION:The Stanly County Arts Council is excited to welcome back to Stanly County The Lowcountry Voices.  Come enjoy the sounds of Charleston with a free performance by Lowcountry Voices. This concert is a gift to the community by the Stanly County Arts Council in celebration of our 50th Anniversary!  Donations for the arts will be accepted at the door. \nLowcountry Voices debuted “Black Broadway” last May at the Spoleto Festival in Charleston. \nLOWCOUNTRY VOICES (LCV) is a community performing arts organization based in North Charleston but drawing members from across the region. LCV performs all genres in the choral repertoire with a special emphasis on African-American music\, including Black gospel\, spirituals and jazz\, as they were nurtured and performed in the SC Lowcountry. While the choir is based in North Charleston since its inception 10 years ago\, its members are drawn from across the entire Lowcountry region and as far away as Rock Hill and Columbia\, SC. LCV has ignited audiences locally and regionally as well as in New York\, New Jersey and Georgia. \nLowcountry Voices was honored to be asked to provide music for the nationally televised funeral services for the Honorable Reverend Clementa Pinckney\, the slain pastor of the Mother Emanuel AME Church tragedy. Additionally\, the choir was also honored to provide the background singing behind President Obama’s surprising and touching rendition of Amazing Grace. In July\, 2015\, LCV took the sounds of the Lowcountry internationally to Bermuda for two enthusiastically received performances.  Also in July\, Lowcountry Voices performed with music legend James Taylor in Columbia\, SC. The choir later traveled on tour to Toronto\, Canada. \nThe choir was honored to perform for the Charleston Gaillard Center’s Grand Re-Opening with noted gospel artist\, Karen Clark-Sheard. Most recently the choir performed for a capacity audience during 2022 Piccolo Spoleto\, and collaborated with the Charleston Symphony Orchestra for the Denmark Vesey Celebration this\npast July. \nNathan L Nelson Music Director LowCountry Voices\nLowcountry Voices is directed by NATHAN L NELSON.  Nelson is the Founding Director of Lowcountry Voices and continues to pursue his passion for preserving the cultural legacy and authenticity of African-American music. A native Charlestonian\, he began playing drums at age eight and by age thirteen\, he was organizing and directing local gospel and school choirs. From 2008 through 2012\, he was the Director of the CSO Spiritual Ensemble and Associate Director of the CSO Gospel Choir. He is called upon to conduct choral clinics for church musicians\, choral groups\, and orchestras and also helps initialize and enhance church music departments. He has conducted and performed in Canada\, England and Ghana\, West Africa\, and has mesmerized sold out audiences throughout the Southeast. He has collaborated with several outstanding artists in the field of gospel and spiritual music. Mr. Nelson\, a well-regarded public school music educator and administrator\, continues to work in the public education field. Mr. Nelson holds a BA Degree in Music Education with an emphasis on Choral Music and Secondary Education from Charleston Southern University and an MS Degree in Educational Leadership. \nLCV is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and is a fully registered charity in the State of South Carolina.

SUMMARY:Concerts on the Pier - Kate White
DESCRIPTION:The Concerts on the Pier returns in Summer 2022 as a concert series.  The second  \nconcert of the series is  Saturday\, July 16 at 7:30 pm on Lake Tillery\, near Goat Island (the last cove before the southern dam on the Stanly County side of the lake) and will feature Miss Stanly County Kate White.  People can listen to the free concert from their boats\, from shore\, or by watching the live stream on the Stanly County Arts Council’s Facebook page. If interested in shore seating\, please email Austin Coats to reserve your spot @ coats_austin@yahoo.com. \nKate White\, 21\, a resident of New London\, was crowned Miss Stanly County last October. She has performed locally with The Talent Company and The Uwharrie Players since she was 10 years old.  Her most well-known role was playing Jo March in Little Women with The Talent Company in 2019. She will be returning to the stage as Laura Ingalls Wilder in Little House on The Prairie with The \nUwharrie Players from July 29- August 7 at the Agri- Civic Center. White recently returned from competing in the Miss North Carolina competition where she represented Stanly County well! Her social impact initiative is called “Find Your Spark” which promotes unique arts opportunities to Stanly County’s youth in order to help them find their artistic outlet! “I feel very honored to perform on the pier for the Stanly County Arts Council and raise money for a cause that I am so passionate about! ”  said Kate White. \nWhite’s strong vocals allow her to perform a range of genres of music.  The audience can look forward to hearing her sing Valerie by Amy Winehouse\, Shallow by Lady Gaga\, Drops of Jupiter by Train\, and Vienna by Billy Joel.  “I feel very honored to perform on the pier for the Stanly County Arts Council and raise money for a cause that I am so passionate about! ”  said Kate White. \n“We are so excited that Kate is part of our concert series.  It is a privilege for us to bring visibility to our aspiring\, local performers.  We hope everyone will come out and support Kate.  The arts have played an important role in her life\, so much so\, that her platform for Miss Stanly County was promoting the arts to our area youth.  We appreciate everything she has done this past year to spread her passion to others\,” said Lynn Plummer\, chairman of the Stanly County Arts Council. \n Concert on the Pier is the brainchild of Austin Coats. When the Covid pandemic hit\, Coats was living in New York City. During the New York shut down\, Coats decided to return to Stanly County until Covid restrictions improved. In Fall 2020\, Coats determined that performing from a pier for boats or for an audience socially distanced on shore would meet the needs to hear live music while being performed in a safe environment.  The first Concert on the Pier occurred on a chilly night in October 2020 with Coats performing and raising much needed funds for the local arts community by having donations benefit the Stanly County Arts Council. He followed that concert with another concert in May 2021\, with much better weather and once again the funds raised benefited the Stanly County Arts Council.  Even though the pandemic is at low levels and many of the precautions are no longer necessary\, the Concert on the Pier is still a great idea to enjoy live music.  To make it even better for Summer 2022\, Coats thought it would be wonderful to have a series and have other performers take the Pier.  The first concert was on June 18th with Dustin Curlee;  July 16th with Miss Stanly County Kate White\, and August 13th with Coats.  Each musician has their own style\, so it’ll be fun to attend all three.  Donations will be accepted again on behalf of the Stanly County Arts Council\, a 501 (c) (3) non-profit whose mission is to encourage and promote broad-based cultural and educational activities in the arts throughout Stanly County.

SUMMARY:Concerts on the Pier - Dustin Curlee
DESCRIPTION:The Concerts on the Pier returns in Summer 2022 as a concert series.  The first concert is this Saturday\, June 18 at 7:30 pm on Lake Tillery\, near Goat Island (the last cove before the southern dam on the Stanly County side of the lake) and will feature Dustin Curlee.  People can listen to the free concert from their boats\, from shore\, or by watching the live stream on the Stanly County Arts Council’s Facebook page. If interested in shore seating\, please email Austin Coats to reserve your spot @ coats_austin@yahoo.com. \n  \nDustin Curlee has been playing\, singing\, and performing music in the local area for the past eighteen years\, even though he’s only 24 years old. During the 2021-2022 American Idol competition\, Curlee successfully made it through three rounds of competition.  His favorite aspect of being in Hollywood with American Idol was performing on the stage of the Orpheum Theater\, where many superstars have performed before him.  Prior to American Idol\, Curlee won the talent competition at the Oakboro 4th of July Talent Show in 2018 and performed for the Miss North Carolina Scholarship Competition in 2021.  Curlee is married to Candace Curlee and resides in Stanfield with their five children.  For more information about Curlee and to hear some of his music\, check out his Facebook page:  facebook.com/dustinscurlee.  “We are so excited that Dustin is part of our concert series.  We hope that everyone will come to hear him perform.  We also can’t wait to see what the future holds for his professional music career.  Dustin’s passion is spreading his love of music to others and we know with his talent and passion\, he will achieve even greater success than he already has\,”  said Lynn Plummer\, chairman of the Stanly County Arts Council.
