Women's Day - Women of the WJO

Online from March 24, to April 13, 2023

The Winnipeg Women’s Jazz Orchestra presents a concert celebrating this year’s International Women's Day’s campaign theme: #EmbraceEquity. The program will include several favourites from last year’s inaugural WWJO International Women's Day concert, several pieces written or arranged by Winnipeg women, and several standards focusing a lens on celebrating the strength equity brings. WJO has a mission toward equity, diversity, and inclusion. It is important for all people to see themselves reflected in what they celebrate. This March, we celebrate equity.

The WINNIPEG JAZZ ORCHESTRA explores the music of The Beatles with a unique big band take on classic compositions by perhaps the most influential band in the history of rock and roll.

The WJO is very pleased to be back for the 2022/23 season to continue our tradition of classic arrangements, new compositions, surprise guests, old friends, talented young instrumentalists and vocalists, and themes that we think will pique your interest!

The Winnipeg Jazz Orchestra welcomes and shares its performance and creation of music - a universal language to all people irrespective of culture, race, sexuality, ability, language and gender.

Music is an agent of hope. A dynamic and valuable device that helps us to heal and to bring us together. The First Peoples of Canada understood this and used music to reunite, resolve and reconcile. In the spirit of reconciliation, we acknowledge that WJO activities take place on Treaty Territory – land that was maintained and earnestly cared for by Indigenous peoples before European settlement. Manitoba is the original lands of Anishinaabe, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota, and Dene peoples, and is the homeland of the Métis Nation. We acknowledge that Winnipeg benefits daily from Treaty 3 water that comes from Shoal Lake 40. It is with sincere sentiment that we recognize the mistakes of our recent and distant past. In working towards a Canada that benefits us all, we commit to seeking a greater understanding of Canada’s diverse cultural relationships through continued work with Indigenous communities; we commit to live in ways that honour and respect the treaties that were made on these territories; and we commit to stewarding the land in harmony for all who will come after us.
