Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra With Wynton Marsalis

An unmissable evening of American jazz at its pinnacle, and a rare opportunity to witness trumpeter and nine-time Grammy Award-winner Wynton Marsalis in his final season as Artistic Director of Jazz at Lincoln Center and Music Director of the Orchestra. Washington Performing Arts and Strathmore are proud to co-present this legendary ensemble at the Music Center at Strathmore on May 11 and May 13. The incomparable 15-member orchestra brings lock-step precision and stunning virtuosity to the timeless big-band tradition. The Financial Times called Marsalis’s playing a seamless welding of “classic jazz references into a modal jazz palette.” Their program draws from jazz’s great tradition, with two unique programs, each emphasizing works by Wynton Marsalis and the orchestra’s own composers and arrangers, a testament to three decades of bringing this singular art form to audiences across 40 countries and counting.
