 The Winnipeg Jazz Orchestra would like to send a big thank-you to the Music Performance Trust Fund for their support in helping us to provide four free school concerts to over 850 students yesterday, April 17th, 2023. We performed for music students, prospective music students and some from the general student population representing five different schools in the Winnipeg area. The pieces chosen presented an overview of the history of jazz from its beginnings over 100 years ago to the present day. We also performed some music that the student jazz bands are currently working on. All in all, it was a fun day spent performing and sharing music with young music lovers.

Winnipeg Jazz OrchestraThe Winnipeg Jazz Orchestra (WJO) is Canada’s first community-based, non-profit professional jazz orchestra. Founded in 1997 (registered charity in 2000), the WJO has matured to become an important part of Winnipeg’s cultural landscape, reflected in the ongoing support the organization receives from the Manitoba Arts Council, the Winnipeg Arts Council, the Winnipeg Foundation, and other sponsors. The mandate of the Winnipeg Jazz Orchestra is to be an instrumental force in the promotion and development of big band jazz in Manitoba and beyond, through performance, composition, recording and education.
