Carolina Sound, a professional a cappella group from North Carolina, is bringing their powerhouse vocals to the Woodstock Arts Green on March 22nd as part of the 2025 Lantern Series—and you won’t want to miss it!

WHO IS CAROLINA SOUND?

Hailing from the University of Mount Olive, Carolina Sound is an elite ensemble of 12 graduate students, hand-selected for their exceptional musical abilities. Their performances aren’t just about hitting the right notes—they’re about creating an experience that moves audiences.

“The idea behind Carolina Sound is for us to be able to go into any setting and perform, sing, and promote the University,” says Lester Rector, who, alongside his wife Holly Rector, leads the group. The couple brings a wealth of experience, having previously performed at Walt Disney World’s Voices of Liberty, known for its breathtaking vocal artistry.

Carolina Sound’s genre-spanning setlist means there’s something for everyone– whether you love pop, gospel, jazz, or classic hits. Their seamless blend of voices and intricate harmonies create a live music experience unlike any other, proving that instruments aren’t necessary when talent is this strong.

“We want to be impactful in our music,” says Rector. 

Whether performing in intimate venues or grand stages, they captivate audiences with raw vocal power and emotional depth.

Don’t miss the chance to witness Carolina Sound’s vocal mastery live on the Event Green at Woodstock Arts. Come celebrate with music, community, and the pure magic of the human voice.
