But, you don't have to leave town to enjoy the sounds of southern Appalachia. Downtown Kingsport offers a free summer concert series - Twilight Alive. And more than 70 professional musicians make up Symphony of the Mountains, which plays classical concerts, pops and light musical offerings across the region.
