The American Symphony Orchestra celebrates the genre-defying genius of Duke Ellington with an evening including two world premiere arrangements by Marcus Roberts of New World A-Comin and Three Black Kings for jazz trio and large orchestra. The orchestra performs Ellingtons iconic music on the stage of Carnegie Hall, where he played a series of annual concerts and premiered many of his greatest works, including Black, Brown, and Beige and Night Creature. Grammy award winning jazz singer, Catherine Russell, makes a guest appearance.
