The Winnipeg Jazz Orchestra is the only community-based professional jazz orchestra in Canada; its equal can be found in only a handful of major U.S. cities.

Dr. Richard Gillis and Sasha Boychouk founded the WJO in 1997, inspired by a vision of forming a professional big band with the best emerging and veteran musicians in Winnipeg. Commissioning new works and working with students and young musicians is an integral part of the WJO vision. Today, the orchestra roster boasts 18 to 25 musicians whose combined resumes touch every corner of performance jazz locally, nationally, and around the world.

Thanks, Winnipeg, for another great season of Big Band jazz!
