PRE-CONCERT JAZZ BAND PERFORMANCES

We have cancelled pre-concert school performances
​until it is safe for the students and for our musicians.
​We plan to resume in the 2022-2023 season.

​
A mandate of the WJO is to make direct and meaningful connections with many eager young jazz students, driving their passion for music by giving them valuable tools, skills and inspiration to help them succeed in jazz band and beyond. The WJO Education Program includes inviting school and community ensembles to play before WJO concerts.

Pre-concert Bands
​
If you would like your school or community jazz band to perform before a WJO season concert please contact Richard Gillis at ad@winnipegjazzorchestra.com. We are pleased to offer the performing students each a complimentary ticket to see the show, and their parents discounted tickets to the show.
​Discounted tickets for parents of pre-concert performers have to be purchased at least 24 hours before their child's performance - not available at the door.

Invest in our Students
​
If you would like to support these students and their school or community jazz bands please contact Richard Gillis at ad@winnipegjazzorchestra.com. We supply from 18 to 35 complimentary tickets to various student groups for each performance. We also provide educational opportunities through jazz band workshops, school concerts, and three honour jazz bands. New for 2020-2021 are a series of educational videos for jazz band students - available soon!
We greatly appreciate the community-minded organizations and individuals who invest in these programs.
