After more than three decades at the helm of the Scottish National Jazz Orchestra (SNJO), I have taken the difficult decision to step down as Artistic Director and resign from the SNJO Board.
This decision comes after careful consideration, and I remain deeply proud of the artistic legacy we have built together.
Since founding the SNJO in 1995, I have been fortunate to work with extraordinary musicians, visionary collaborators, and dedicated supporters who helped shape the orchestra into a world-class ensemble. Over the years, we’ve brought some of the greatest jazz artists to Scotland—giving our national orchestra a rare international standing and providing homegrown talent with the opportunity to perform at the highest level.
I leave with a heavy heart, but with confidence that the musical and institutional foundations we have laid will serve the SNJO well in the years ahead. Tommy Smith
