WAYJO provides outstanding development and performance opportunities to exceptional young jazz musicians. You can get involved in a variety of ways. We invite you to keep the music playing:
Sign up to our eNews
WAYJO’s orchestras and ensembles perform regularly throughout the year – sign up to our ‘Word on WAYJO’ monthly e-newsletter for all the latest news about our big band ensembles, educational initiatives, and upcoming events.
See a Show
Our orchestras perform at some of WA’s best venues including The Ellington Jazz Club, The Rechabite, Lyric’s Lane, Como Theatre, Hyde Park, Mandurah Performing Arts Centre, Margaret River HEART and more. Don’t miss our annual end-of-year show at the Quarry Amphitheatre – bring your friends and enjoy live jazz performed by some of WA’s finest young musicians. Some of our past members are now international names in jazz and contemporary music – so you can say you saw them first at a WAYJO show!
Audition for our Big Bands
WAYJO gives young jazz musicians the training to play at a professional standard and the confidence to venture out and create their own bands and, hopefully, earn a living from being a musician.
If you dream of being a jazz musician, playing alongside Australia’s top young jazz musicians, meeting national jazz stars and playing in a big band jazz orchestra at events and venues across Perth – we want to see you at an audition!
Join the 240 Club
You can choose to make a monthly contribution of $20 or donate $240 up front. Members of our 240 Club will receive exclusive invitations to rehearsals, unique recordings of WAYJO music, the opportunity to meet our guest artists and band members at WAYJO events, and more!
Make a Donation
At WAYJO we believe in developing the potential of young musicians through music. Our program offers performances with world-class guest artists, workshops and master classes, as well as touring and recording opportunities. Your gift is important and it ensures that our program remains sustainable and innovative and enables us to showcase some of the best young talent in Australia.
All donations are very welcome and will go directly towards scores, instruments, workshops, touring, visiting artist programs or recording.
Become a partner
To continue to provide world-class opportunities to our players, we need forward-thinking organisations to invest in WAYJO’s future. Such investments allow us to engage inspirational guest artists, to purchase instruments, tour nationally and internationally, and expand our composer-in-residence programs.
If you are interested in becoming a supporting partner and contributing to the successes and achievements of WAYJO we would love to hear from you.
Alternatively, you can contact our office during business hours on +61 8 9471 1950 or email our General Manager Monique Douglas at monique.douglas@wayjo.com
