"We really enjoyed the Tri-City Jazz Orchestra concert. We have moved into the area since November 2020 and have really missed good music – jazz and classical. We appreciate your efforts to bring a more diverse musical entertainment to the area. We traveled an hour and half to listen to the concert and it was well worth the trip!"

Original Landowners
We acknowledge that The Lincoln Theatre and Smyth County stand on lands that are the traditional territory of the Tsalaguewtiyi, an eastern Cherokee tribe, and the S'atsoyaha, a Yuchi tribe. We recognize the sovereignty of these tribal nations and the traditional settlements. We also recognize the histories of dispossession, which resulted in the growth of The Lincoln Theatre since 1929. This land's importance to American history is illustrated in the murals within the theatre. We acknowledge the inaccuracies and harmful depictions they display.
