OUR COMMUNITY IMPACT

The Jackson Symphony Orchestra offers many engaging musical experiences throughout the year in a variety of settings. Our organization is multilayered, consisting of our own event venue – Weatherwax Hall, our own music school – The Ronald and Marvel Jones Community Music School, our multigenred concert series – Music on Tap, our youth symphony – JYSO, our advanced and intermediate orchestra – Community Strings, and our professional orchestra – Jackson Symphony Orchestra. From our concert hall, classrooms, and beyond, the JSO delivers programs that enrich and elevate our community. Quality of life is important to help attract and retain a dynamic workforce, and Jackson County enjoys the impact of the JSO’s offerings and events.
