The Cleveland Jazz Orchestra Preservation Circle are individuals who have contributed beyond measure to further the CJO’s mission.

Arrangers have supported the CJO through philanthropy, as champions, and as volunteers. Lead Players have shared their creativity and artistry. Through their efforts, the CJO continues to increase awareness and appreciation of jazz by engaging the community with original music, exceptional performances, and inspirational educational programming.
