Journey Through Jazz Part VII: The JLCO with Wynton Marsalis
Through music and storytelling, this special event closes Black History Month and commences Women’s History Month with a repertoire honoring Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan, Nancy Wilson, and Betty Carter.
This February, we’re proud to take part in Black History Month with select performances and virtual experiences that salute Black excellence. Through events that examine the music’s legacy, its capacity for celebration, and its progression, we honor this music’s evolving permanence in American culture.
Wynton Marsalis’ The Shanghai Suite is a nine-movement musical meditation celebrating China’s rich culture.
