JSO Awarded "JSO Goes to School" Educational Initiative

“The Jackson Symphony Orchestra Association has been awarded a grant of $15,000 to JSO Goes to School Educational Initiatives developed as a part of the $3.4 million dollar JSO Sound Vision Campaign,” Mary Spring, JSO Development Director said today.

According to Spring, the grant will be used to assist in bringing important music education into county schools through the JSO Pied Piper music enrichment program.

Since the inception of the JSO Community Music School and JSO Goes to School in 1992, the Jackson Symphony Orchestra has committed nearly 20% of its overall budget annually to provide effective music education programs for Jackson County Schools and residents. The grant from the Community Foundation will give the JSO important resources to continue to work in our schools with the intent of utilizing music to enhance over all education and create pathways to higher education for Jackson County students.

This grant was made possible from the Unrestricted Community Needs Endowment Fund, a component fund of the Jackson Community Foundation. This is the third Community Foundation grant provided to the JSO Sound Vision education initiative. Total Jackson Community Foundation support for Sound Vision education programming stands at $75,000. The most recent $15,000 grant is being matched dollar for dollar by the Weatherwax Foundation $500,000 Challenge grant as the final phase of the JSO campaign draws to a close.
