The Music Director Search Series is a four-concert showcase of the prospective choices for the orchestra's next music director. Each concert will feature a different conductor.

At the end of the series, the orchestra's board of directors will select the new music director based on the feedback of the musicians, the audience, and the search committee.

This music director search series is a unique opportunity for the community to experience the talents of four highly qualified conductors and to help shape the future of the RJO.

Shakespearian Actors will join the RJO for a performance of Ellington's Such Sweet Thunder, and the students of the 2023 Jazz Workshop will be introduced.
