Thank you for keeping Big Band Jazz alive
We appreciate all of you who have donated toward our 2022-23 events and education initiatives. If you haven't yet and would like to donate, please use the button below or go to our donation page here.
Last season we held three composers workshops, mentoring emerging composers for big band (whose pieces you will hear at our concerts!), commissioned more compositions to reflect the different cultures in our great country and will be releasing that music on our fifth CD soon. We presented a concert with all female performers and conductor to tie in with the International Women's Day and are held our Second Annual Women in Jazz Symposium.
Some of our dreams (the Canadian Jazz Composers Workshop and the Women in Jazz Symposium) were much better than we imagined, with people zooming in from all over North America.
Please donate to the Winnipeg Jazz Orchestra so we can continue to provide you with the best in big band jazz. We have more ideas to explore and new experiences to bring to you in the 2022-23 season and beyond.
