BECKLEY, WV (LOOTPRESS) – Beckley Concert Association has announced the upcoming performers for its 2022-2023 season:
“Beckley Concert Association had its beginning in January of 1938 when a group of community minded ladies met for the purpose of organizing a concert association. Mrs. William (Mabel) Taylor, president and Mrs. Thomas (Louise) Wickham vice president along with other officers held the first membership drive in April of that year. 736 members were enrolled exceeding the goal of 500. A significant result for a new Beckley community venture.
Before claiming the newly constructed Woodrow Wilson High School Auditorium in 1988 as the choice venue with first class acoustics and facilities other locations provided space for this growing membership.
During the 84 years of operation the management of the organization has taken place in member homes, various conference rooms at local churches, United Bank and Beckley Art Center.
In more recent years, especially during COVID, the use of technology has been especially helpful to the formation of each concert season.
It has been an amazing journey for this moderate size community in southern West Virginia however, it hasn’t been surprising that so many people have been committed to bringing live music to the community.
You are an integral part of this continued journey. Contact us about how you can be more involved. If you love music join the effort and spread the word about the best kept secret in southern West Virginia!”
