The Women's Day Concert features the W2JO (WJO's all-women version) performing a concert celebrating women in jazz. We are grateful to the Jewish Foundation of Manitoba for supporting four new works, written or arranged by women in Manitoba, that will be premiered at the concert! We will also feature Icelandic guest artist Sigurdís Tryggvadóttir. A young women’s jazz ensemble (led by Alyssa Alambra) will open the concert.

The Winnipeg Jazz Orchestra has a mission toward equity, diversity, and inclusion. There are alarming statistics about the comparative lack of women in jazz, but the needle moves when space is provided to amplify voices.

*Please note that this is not a Jazz Winnipeg event and as such we cannot answer queries about it.
