David M. Lowry was awarded the Order of the Palmetto on August 4 for his many musical contributions to the state of South Carolina. The honor was presented on behalf of Governor Henry McMaster by Lenora Morrow Jeffcoat, who nominated Lowry.
He is Professor Emeritus of music at Winthrop University, Rock Hill, South Carolina, having served from 1965 until 2012, and served as parish musician at the Church of the Good Shepherd, Columbia, for many years beginning in 1996.
The Order of the Palmetto is South Carolina’s highest civilian honor, recognizing individuals for their lifetime of extraordinary achievement, service, and contributions on a national or statewide scale.
