Calvary & the Arts Concert Series
in memory of Dottie Jones
The 2007 series was a smashing success, with total attendance of almost 3000! Performers included opera diva Kallen Esperian, grammy winning jazz and soul artist Kirk Whalum, members of the Memphis Symphony Orchestra (in two unique concerts), the Rhodes Singers, and a silent film, the 1925 (original) Phantom of the Opera with Lon Cheney (on Halloween of course!).

Calvary & the Arts celebrates its 30th anniversary next year. Watch for the announcement of the 2008 series. It will be a banner year!
Great musicians and great chefs are a Memphis tradition. Calvary & the Arts celebrates this tradition each Wednesday at Noon, late October through early December. Join us each week for a unique musical experience, offered in loving memory of Dottie Jones.
Concerts last approximately 45-50 minutes and are followed by lunch ($7.00) cooked by some of downtown Memphis's greatest chefs.
Contact Sumner Jenkins, Organist-Choirmaster, for more information.
While not a series, Calvary's annual presentation of Messiah is a staple of December's music in Memphis. The concert most often happens on the 1st or 2nd Sunday of Advent.
