Legendary producer Quincy Jones took the classic Handel's "Messiah" and added some soul. Jackson school choirs and area dancers will add life when they perform the modern classic this holiday season.
The PERICO Institute for Youth Development and Entrepreneurship presents "Soulful Messiah" Dec. 11 at the Jackson Medical Mall. The community-wide youth holiday concert begins at 4 p.m. Eight choirs and eight dance schools are participating.
The show includes liturgical dances and Jones' musical composition. Tracie James Wade choreographed the dances, and Louis Wright is the musical director. Hosts are Maggie Wade and Cynthia Goodloe Palmer.
Tickets are $20-$25. For those under 18, tickets are $10. For information, call 769-251-1408 or visit http://www.priydems.com.
