Winnipeg Art Gallery (WAG) It doesn't take much effort to think of great songwriters and performers associated with Winnipeg: Neil Young, BTO and Chantal Kreviazuk to name a few! The WJO is excited to join in the celebration of our city's great musical tradition as part of the Winnipeg 150 "City of Song" events. Join us for a performance of reimagined Winnipeg Favourites including audience sing-a-longs and special guest hosts. Directed by Neil Watson |

Think Sinatra ... Except Fabulous
featuring David Grenon Saturday, April 12th, 2025 | 7:30 pm Sunday, April 13th, 2025 | 2:00 pm Centre Culturel Franco-Manitobain (CCFM) Celebrating the legacy of jazz icon, Frank Sinatra, the orchestra features the mesmerizing vocals of Winnipeg's own heart throb, David Grenon. Flirty, fabulous and a little cheeky (dare we say in the words of Shakira "your hips won't lie" with this season's performance)! The WJO will be exploring the music of Sinatra and great artists who saw their sights in both the jazz and Pride communities. Directed by Sean Irvine |
More Respect!Saturday, May 10, 2025 | 7:30 pm
Sunday, May 11, 2025 | 2:00 pm Centre Culturel Franco-Manitobain (CCFM) The music of Aretha Franklin with Larry Roy, Ego Spank and some of the city's best vocalists. We presented our first "Respect" concert in 2023 and decided we had to do another - and explore more great tunes by Aretha Franklin. Directed by Joel Green |
The WJO's 2024/25 season continues 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!
