Jazz at Lincoln Center

The Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis brings the brass—plus piano, drums, and bass—to Wolf Trap for an evening of improvisation and inspiration. A nine-time Grammy winner, National Endowment of the Arts Jazz Master, and Pulitzer Prize recipient, Marsalis is the artistic director for the 15-member big band and one of the most prominent jazz musicians today. The tight-playing ensemble shares their works and interprets the classics in this can’t-miss show. Jazz singer, composer, and MacArthur “genius grant” recipient Cécile McLorin Salvant opens the show with her captivating voice.
