The Jackson Symphony taps Dr. Patrick Teer to lead new conductor search committee
JACKSON, TN — The Jackson Symphony will embark on a search for a new music director and conductor to replace Peter Shannon, who announced in October that the 2024-25 concert season will be his last.
Selected to lead the search committee is Patrick Teer, physician and decades long Symphony patron. Shannon, who is only the third conductor in the Symphony’s history, will complete a transformative tenure with the orchestra in April 2025, leaving a legacy of artistic achievement and community engagement.
“Patrick Teer is uniquely qualified to lead the search for the fourth conductor in Jackson Symphony history,” said Greg Alexander, president of the board of directors. “His parents, Dr. & Mrs. George A. Teer were instrumental in the founding of the orchestra, and supporting the Symphony has been a family affair ever since.
“Both Patrick and his wife, Jan, as well as his sister, Pattilu and her husband, Steve Raper, are season subscribers, supporters, and advocates for The Jackson Symphony and all its programming.”
In addition to Dr. Teer, the following were appointed to the conductor search committee: Dorris Battle, Anita Hamilton, Leonie Hefley, Jasper Hensley, Keith Herris, William Hutchinson, Larry Smith, Roger Smith, Sherry Freeman, and Greg Alexander.
