The cultural landscape of Valdosta is set to be enriched once again as the Turner Center for the Arts prepares to unveil its third season of the Levitt AMP Music Series. Kicking off on March 7, this series promises ten weeks of vibrant, live music performances in the heart of the city. Community members and visitors alike are invited to bring their lawn chairs and immerse themselves in a variety of musical genres, ranging from country rock to vintage soul. Each week will feature talented artists from across the nation, creating an atmosphere that celebrates both diversity and unity.
This initiative, funded by generous grants from foundations dedicated to community enrichment, exemplifies the power of collaboration. The Mortimer & Mimi Levitt Foundation has been instrumental in supporting nonprofit organizations nationwide, fostering environments where music, public spaces, and community building intersect. For 2025, the Price-Campbell Foundation has also stepped forward to support the continuation of this beloved series. Beyond just music, these events include preshow activities, opening acts, and food vendors, transforming each concert into a comprehensive celebration of art and life. The lineup showcases an eclectic mix of performers, ensuring there's something for everyone, from jazz-infused funk to bluegrass and Venezuelan sounds.
Through initiatives like the Levitt AMP Music Series, the Turner Center for the Arts plays a pivotal role in amplifying community pride and enhancing the city’s unique character. These concerts not only provide entertainment but also serve as a platform for bringing people together, fostering a sense of belonging and shared experiences. As families and friends gather under the open sky at the Turner Center Art Park, they participate in a tradition that underscores the importance of vibrant public spaces and the unifying power of music. This series stands as a testament to the belief that through collective participation, communities can thrive and flourish.
