james-matthew-wyatt

Jackson, Tenn.–James Matthew Wyatt has been named Director of Operations for The Jackson Symphony. Originally from Paris, Tennessee, Wyatt now calls Jackson home and brings a deep commitment to community, culture, and public service to his new role.
Wyatt said,  “After several years serving West Tennessee as a Field Representative for U.S. Senator Marsha Blackburn, I decided to take a leap into a new chapter that combines leadership, community, and the arts. The experiences, relationships, and opportunities I had while on Team Blackburn will always shape my professional path.”
He said, “I’ve just wrapped up my first week with the Symphony, and I couldn’t be more energized by the team and the work ahead. Looking forward to helping support an organization that brings so much cultural value to our region and beyond!”

Wyatt’s career has centered on building relationships and creating opportunities across West Tennessee.  As Field Representative for Blackburn, he worked closely with local leaders, organizations, and residents across the region. As an educator in the Henry County School System, he led theatrical and speech programs that emphasized creativity, collaboration, and student voice.

 

With a background in both the arts and public service, Wyatt said he is passionate about strengthening access to music and cultural experiences, especially in rural communities, and supporting the Symphony’s role as a gathering place for connection, creativity, and shared experience.

 

“James brings a rare combination of organizational skill, artistic sensibility, and deep roots in West Tennessee,” said Paul Haas, Music Director of The Jackson Symphony. “He understands how the Symphony fits into the life of this region, not just as a performing arts organization, but as a community partner. His passion for access, education, and connection aligns beautifully with where we are headed, and I’m thrilled to welcome him to our leadership team.”
