In Jubilo Women’s Chorale began in 2002 with Jackie Riddle-Jackson, well-known in the community for her musical talents. Jackie and LuWenn Jones began the Chorale with only twelve ladies. As time passed, the group continued to grow, and there are now approximately sixty singers who are dedicated to the Chorale’s success. The number of women fluctuates each year depending on busy schedules. New members join each year, while others may stop attending for a while and then return. The most remarkable thing about the Chorale is that these women are exceptional musicians who lend their voices to give audiences a rich experience in choral music. Come listen with family and friends on December 19th as In Jubilo Women’s Chorale presents “Seasons of Joy.”
