Symphony in the Community

Join the Mississippi Symphony Orchestra and Cade Chapel Missionary Baptist Church for a unique collaboration that rejoices in the rousing power of music. The hour-long concert showcases the Jackson-rooted talents of Teneia Sanders, 5th Child, Margaret Walker, Tougaloo College Chamber Singers, Cade Chapel’s Chorale and Dance Ministry, and MSO, as we share the music of John Legend, Randy Klein, Johann Sebastian Bach, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, Florence Price and more. 

Cade Chapel Missionary Baptist Church offers worship services, choir, dance and youth ministries, as well as Bible Study, Vacation Bible School, daycare, and critical responses to community problems.

Mississippi Symphony Orchestra is the state’s largest professional performing arts organization and performs a broad spectrum of music genres in a variety of venues statewide through more than 20 major concerts and dozens of educational “informances” each year.
