“An Evening of Song and Marimba”
May 9, 2026 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
We conclude our 63rd season with a return performance by acclaimed lyric tenor J. Warren Mitchell. All of you in the JSO audience loved his program in 2018, and you will thrill to his commanding return featuring his soaring, dramatic voice. In addition, the concert will also feature the World Premiere performance of Bounce, a marimba concerto by Jacksonville composer and Illinois College Professor Emeritus, Timothy Kramer, written for the JSO and our soloist, Tyler Carpenter, Jacksonville native, I.C. Drumline Director & Percussion Instructor, and Principal Percussionist of the JSO. You don’t want to miss this exciting evening of song plus a World Premiere!
