Let's Make a Difference!
JOI builds programming to increase opportunities for kids to play in public. While education is foundational to building musical talent, performances build confidence, depth, and strength for young musicians.

The JOI Jazz Orchestra will be working to plan and present high quality public performances for the public as a way to both add to a vibrant jazz culture and community in Southern Nevada, as well as to support its many educational and outreach programs, masterclasses and clinics, and more.
