NEW HARMONIES:
CELEBRATING AMERICAN ROOTS MUSIC
The Centralia Cultural Society has been selected as one of
six communities throughout Illinois to host the Smithsonian
traveling exhibit, NEW HARMONIES: Celebrating American Roots
Music. The tour is developed by Museum on Main Street (MoMS),
a partnership between the Illinois Humanities Council (IHC)
and the Smithsonian Institution. The exhibit explores the
development of Americans’ creative expression through
music. The music that emerges is known by names like blues,
country western, folk ballads, and gospel. The main beat of
the exhibition is the on-going cultural process that has made
America the birthplace of more music than any place on earth.
The exhibition provides a fascinating, inspiring, and toe-tapping
listen to the American story of multi-cultural exchange.

Chris Vallillo, Illinois State Scholar for the New Harmonies

historic topics into modern day understanding. A former archaeologist
turned folksinger/songwriter, he is a skilled six-string and
bottleneck slide guitarist whose love of the past evolved
into a love for old music. Hor'devers along with wine and
punch will be served. Tickets are $15. Doors to
