An ensemble of the Rosemount Community Band, the Genesis Jazz Orchestra was established in 2018 by musicians from the southeast metro area of the Twin Cities. Over half of its members have degrees in music. Some play professionally and many are current or retired music educators.
In addition to performing in the Rosemount community, GJO plays at school jazz concerts and festivals, at Jazz Central Studios in Minneapolis and at city band shells and parks. Recent notable concerts include a shows at Jazz in the Prairie, at the Mall of America, at Mears Park in St. Paul and a performance for the Minnesota Music Educators Association Mid-Winter Conference in Minneapolis.
