The Seattle Repertory Jazz Orchestra is a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation and enrichment of the uniquely American art form of large ensemble jazz. Members of SRJO -- professional musicians, music educators and a team of supporting volunteers -- are motivated by a vision and committed to a four-part mission:

Mission:

- To create and nourish a superb, professional jazz orchestra with which to perform before appreciative audiences;

- To educate and inspire the next generation to understand, perform and treasure this music;

- To add to the repertoire of large ensemble jazz by commissioning and presenting new works, and by transcribing music from rare recordings so as to publish first scores of historic arrangements and compositions; and

- To promote to new audiences this classic American art form.

Vision:

- To be nationally recognized and regarded by jazz fans, music educators, arts grantors, and the general public as one of the Pacific Northwest's cultural treasures. .
