Stanly County has a rich history of prominent musicians. Many of these people taught and served in local churches and schools. Through their work, others learned to make joyful sounds and cultivated a love of music. This first of a series of Prominent Musicians programs will honor individuals in Albemarle: Margie Mauney, Katherine Almond, Mary Hearne, Paul Frye, Tommy Hauss, Joann Morton, Annyce Worsham, and Marie Jones. Please join us at First Presbyterian Church, 126 W. North Street, in Albemarle, on Sunday, February 2, 2025, at 3:00 pm. We are excited to have Michael Rowland, organist at First Presbyterian, providing organ music during the presentation. The program is open to the public and FREE.
