VANCOUVER JAZZ ORCHESTRA

ABOUT US

A new chapter of Jazz in the City

The Vancouver Jazz Orchestra was officially established in 2022 but conversations between (Executive Director) Cory Weeds and (Artistic Director) James Danderfer began long before that. It wasn't that Vancouver was missing Jazz Orchestras, it's that it was missing this kind of Jazz Orchestra. One that had annual "concert seasons," regular performances, and world renown guest artists. The VJO is also unique in that band members will vary from concert to concert, making the group more inclusive of not only all of the many exemplary professionals in town, but also the up and coming talent we value so much.
