New Columbus Choral Society Artistic Director and Conductor Jayne Doolittle of Caledonia leads the group in rehearsal at First Baptist Church on Oct.
22 for the upcoming “Songs of Peace, Hope and Love” concert Nov. 9 in Columbus, and Nov. 17 in West Point. The performances mark Doolittle’s public
debut with the Choral Society, which is launching its 10th performance season. The group was organized in 2009.

here was a brief time, years ago, when Jayne Doolittle
told herself she would not go into music when she
grew up. Today, though, it’s hard for her to imagine
doing anything else.
“Music found me,” said the Columbus Choral Society’s
new artistic director and conductor. Her path, she knows,
was probably a given: She grew up in a musical family in
the Mississippi Delta.

Caledonia Middle and Caledonia High schools and is a busy
mom of two children, ages 7 and 10. But by “night,” par-
ticularly Tuesday nights since August, she is immersed in
rehearsals for “Songs of Peace, Hope and Love,” the Choral
Society’s fall concert. It will be her community debut with
the choral group. And she’s eager.
“Music speaks, and I think when you see a group of
people of every age, every race, every economic background
and different beliefs all coming together as one, a choir is
the perfect example of what community is,” said Doolittle,
who moved to Caledonia with her family in 2012. “We want
to be that safe place where you can just come and sing be-
cause you love it and enjoy making music ... .”
Her tenure with the choral group that is marking its 10th
season carries on a tradition of excellence instilled by previ-
ous directors Doug Browning, Alisa Toy and Phillip Stock-
