About Us

The Richmond Jazz Orchestra (RJO) is the area's premier not-for-profit big band with 20 musicians and vocalists. Our musicians include professional players, high school band directors, music teachers, talented adults, and a few top college and high school players.

Our mission is to provide quality musical entertainment and education for our participants and audiences. We perform at many venues, including the Richmond Civic Theater, Richmond Civic Hall, local libraries, Richmond's Elstro Plaza, and multiple other places in both Indiana and Ohio.

The Richmond Jazz Orchestra believes in the power of music to enrich and transform lives and is committed to providing performance opportunities for any and all musically-capable individuals.
