“Each season we get better and better,” said Katy Coy, CJO's CEO. “We are bringing the talent and the tunes this season with very special guests and performances you won't want to miss.”
Oct. 10 – Oct. 12, 2025 | Rhapsody in Blue ft. Bobby Floyd

Dec. 4 – Dec. 7, 2025 | Home for the Holidays
The best place to be for the holidays is home, surrounded by loved ones. Home for the Holidays will feature Stripling and the CJO in a concert of seasonal favorites with a holiday twist.
Feb. 13 – Feb. 16, 2026 | Tea for Two ft. Phil Clark & Sydney McSweeney
Love is in the air at the Southern Theatre for Valentine's Day weekend. Attendees will enter a “lover's oasis” with the ups, downs, butterflies, broken hearts, and the very best ballads just in time for Valentine's Day. Guest artists will include Phil Clark and Sydney McSweeney.
March 20 – March 22, 2026 | Hotter Than That ft. Erena Terakubo & Nicki Parrott
Hotter Than That will feature the women titans of jazz, bolder than brassy and stacked with skills beyond measure, with guest appearances from Erena Terakubo and Nicki Parrott.
