The Nebraska Jazz Orchestra will celebrate their 50 Year anniversary during their 2025-2026 season. Over 160 musicians have performed with the NJO during the past 49 years. Many of the band's current musicians have been with the NJO for over 30 years, including two who have been there since the beginning. The NJO is excited to have a number of alumni returning to sit in on each concert to celebrate the 50th Anniversary Season. Each concert will feature music performed during each decade, reflecting on the guest artists who played with the band and some of the places the band has performed.
