Comprised of some of the top musicians in the country, our 67-member orchestra performs free concerts for the community and has played with renowned jazz soloists like George Duke, Dave Grusin, Christian McBride, Lee Ritenour and The Yellowjackets.

Every year, the SJO — in partnership with the The ASCAP Foundation — awards a commissioning prize to a composer, whose new work is then premiered by the orchestra in concert.
