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.
