Jackson Choral Society to perform 'Labor of Hope' Nov. 22 at First Baptist
Summary
The volunteer Jackson Choral Society plans a 70-member concert titled 'Labor of Hope' at First Baptist Church on Nov. 22 at 3 p.m.; tickets $20 for adults and $15 for students, doors open at 2:30 p.m.
Marilyn Muster, music director of the Jackson Choral Society, and Joshua Dugan, a board member, said rehearsals began in August and the society will present a concert titled 'Labor of Hope' on Saturday, Nov. 22 at 3 p.m. at First Baptist Church.
"This semester we have 70," Muster said when asked about membership. The chorus is an all‑volunteer ensemble, and the leaders emphasized both musical quality and community value. Dugan said the repertoire spans genres and eras — from classical pieces to gospel and contemporary works — and aims to be accessible while also challenging singers.
Price and logistics: ticket prices were announced as $20 for adults and $15 for students, with doors opening at 2:30 p.m.; tickets will be available in advance from choral society members and at the door. Leaders said rising production costs (music rights, staffing, venue expenses) make contributions and ticket sales important for sustaining the group.
Hosts and quartet members encouraged attendance and noted the choral society’s role in bringing diverse community members together for shared artistic experiences.
