JSU Chorale brings the voice of tragedy, transcendence and solace

“Nonstop” is how Jackson State University Director of Chorale Activities Harry Cecil described first-semester JSU Chorale rehearsals for Mississippi Symphony Orchestra’s January 24 concert “Transcendent Voices.” MSO positions JSU’s top vocal ensemble to unfold the heart of the evening’s program through the intertwining of Joel Thompson’s acclaimed Seven Last Words of the Unarmed (2015) and Gabriel Fauré’s Requiem (1888).
