SUMMER POPS

The Jackson Symphony Orchestra is proud to announce Patriotic Pops, a FREE concert to take place on Friday, August 22 at 7:00 PM, at Horace Blackman Park. This summer we’ll pay tribute to America and its steadfast strength in the face of hardship with a mixture of marches, film scores, and iconic works. These pieces are all composed by American composers including music by Aaron Copland, John Philip Sousa and John Williams. The concert is free but you can purchase VIP tickets for $30 which includes special seating and one drink ticket.

VIP TICKETS

VIP tickets include access to a pre-concert reception at 6:00 PM in Weatherwax Hall, featuring live piano music by Mark Loring, hors d’oeuvres, and a selection of beer, wine, and soft drinks. VIP guests will also enjoy reserved seating in the park and access to the JSO’s indoor restrooms during the event.
