The Jackson Symphony is beginning its 58th Season of providing music programs to the citizens of West Tennessee. The orchestra and affiliated ensembles perform for a total audience of over 30,000 annually. The Jackson Symphony presents internationally known guest artists and provides performance opportunities for aspiring young soloists.
The Jackson Symphony was founded in 1961 by a group of leading citizens to bring classical music to the City of Jackson and surrounding communities. Throughout its history the Symphony has demonstrated a strong commitment in the area of educational programming. Each year thousands of youngsters are introduced to classical music and the orchestra through entertaining and educational school concerts and Open Rehearsal Program.
The Camerata Youth Orchestra was founded in 1989 in order to provide an outstanding performance opportunity to intermediate and advanced level students. In the fall of 1999, the group was expanded to a full youth orchestra, The Jackson Symphony Youth Orchestra. In February 1998, the Sinfonia Strings, was organized to provide beginning string players with their first ensemble experience.
In 2014, Peter Shannon became the third Artistic Director and Conductor for The Jackson Symphony. Shannon’s artistic leadership with the professional musicians of the Symphony has created a musical ensemble of unparalleled excellence. The 2015 – 2016 was record breaking with a 39% audience growth and three of the highest grossing concerts in the history of The Jackson Symphony. In addition, an Integrative Medicine Program was begun with musicians trained by Mr. Shannon have performed for hundreds of patients, caregivers, and medical personnel providing the healing power of music.
