The Jackson Symphony and Arts Advocacy

The Jackson Symphony would like to thank the Madison County Commissioners for their continued support of the arts through the FY10 County Budget!

The Jackson Symphony firmly believes that exposure to the arts significantly enriches a person's life. One of the goals of The Jackson Symphony is to ensure local legislators and elected officials are aware of the power of the arts and they continue to support the arts in Tennessee.
