The core of its activities is a weekly concert series at the Bierhübeli Bern, which runs from mid-October to the end of May and comprises around 30 concerts. Including all external engagements, the SJO has already performed almost 800 times. In addition, the SJO performs projects in a wide variety of styles, which have been documented on 12 CDs to date. The SJO has more than 1,000 arrangements and original compositions by band members.

In 2010, the SJO was awarded the great cultural prize of the Burgergemeinde Bern for its services. Since 2020, the SJO is on the list of regionally important cultural institutions of the Bern-Mittelland region.

Since 5 years I accompany the SJO on their way with keyvisuals and a tailored design system.
