As well as its collaboration with the Saline Royale, the OFJ works with the Opéra de Dijon, the Doubs department and the city of Dole, which provide invaluable aid organising concerts and workshops in the surrounding area.

The OFJ would like to give its warm thanks to Salvi Harps, who have been generous enough to lend the OFJ two new, very high-quality harps for all the 2023 symphony sessions.
