It’s an artistic extravaganza! The JSO presents works inspired by the visual arts including Pictures at an Exhibition. You won’t want to miss violinist Ida Kavafian performing Michael Daugherty’s violin concerto Fire and Blood inspired by Detroit murals by Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. The JSO welcomes back Jeremy Crosmer for a world premiere inspired by the work of Jackson-born artist Philip Campbell Curtis.

We’re also excited to partner with Jackson-born speed painter, Evan Struck, during this performance as he paints a piece alongside the orchestra!
