Join us for a series of musical performances exploring the genre that inspired the genius exhibited in Following Space: Thaddeus Mosley and Alexander Calder. This event is the final performance of the series of different jazz ensembles. Listen to this experimental and dynamic music, as we consider its lasting influence on Modern and Contemporary artists.
The performance will take place in our Plestcheeff Auditorium from 12â12:45 pm and 1:15â2 pm. Because of the current forum closure, guests will enter through the entrance on the corner of 1st Ave and University St.
The Seattle Women's Jazz Orchestra
The Seattle Women's Jazz Orchestra (SWOJO) was formed in 2000 to encourage women and girls to become involved in jazz performance and composition as a career or avocation, to develop the musical, educational and artistic growth of individual musicians, and to foster appreciation of jazz as an art form. SWOJO has become a dynamic force for jazz in the Puget Sound and Pacific Northwest. It has performed at clubs, jazz festivals and concert halls on two continents.
SWOJO proudly features the contemporary, original music of regional and international women composers and arrangers including Jill Townsend, Ann Reynolds, Leigh Pilzer, Christine Jensen, Jessie Smith and Nelda Swigget. SWOJO has performed with many female jazz artists including Dee Daniels, Grace Kelly, Mimi Fox, Christine Jensen, Jill Townsend, Sherrie Maricle, Greta Matassa, Sheryl Bailey, Ingrid Jensen and many others. SWOJO has performed at Benaroya Hall, the Vancouver Wine and Jazz Festival, Seattle Jazz Vespers, Triple Door, Bumbershoot, Festival Jazz en Lima (Peru) and others.
