Since 1946, Knox Concert Series has hosted great acts and
performers. From Vince Gill and Amy Grant, to Marvin Hamlisch, Chicago and more,
Knox is recognized as one of Alabama’s premiere presenting organizations. This
annual concert series brings world renowned artists to the Anniston Performs
Arts Center Stage between September and April. Other previous performers
include: Celtic Woman, Michael McDonald, and Sara Evans! This season’s line-up
boasts, Natalie Cole, Michael Bolton, and the Rain-A Tribute to the Beatles.
The Knox Series gets its name from Carrie McClure Know, who
after studying abroad and at Harvard, moved back home. With a small group of
fellow Anniston musicians, they organized the Anniston Coral Club, which became
the Anniston Music Club. After Carrie died suddenly, the club was renamed the
Knox Music Club. The first concert of the series was a sellout and held at the
Anniston High School Auditorium. Since then, the series has continued to bring
world renowned acts to the Model City. In the 70s, the series was incorporated
with a board of directors.
