Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis

MODLIN ARTS PRESENTS 30TH ANNIVERSARY SEASON

Pre-Concert Discussion at 6pm featuring Seton Hawkins, Director of Public Programs and Education Resources at Jazz at Lincoln Center

Celebrate Wynton Marsalis in his final season as Artistic Director of Jazz at Lincoln Center and Music Director of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. After decades of shaping the future of jazz, Marsalis brings his signature artistry and unforgettable performances to the stage one last time. With its trademark swing, soul, and sophistication, the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra showcases more than a dozen of today’s finest soloists and ensemble players performing music by the great jazz composers alongside contemporary new works that celebrate and expand the American jazz tradition.

After nearly 40 years as the visionary face of Jazz at Lincoln Center, Wynton Marsalis has announced he will step down as managing and artistic director by July 2027, transitioning into an advisory role through 2028. Since the organization’s inception, Marsalis has been instrumental in transforming it from a small summer series into a world-class institution—the “House of Swing”—while tirelessly advocating for jazz as a vital pillar of American culture.
