Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra Kicks of STG's 23/24 Performing Arts Series

Championing performers like Duke Ellington, Dizzy Gillespie, Dave Brubeck, and Charles Mingus, the 15-person strong Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra is famed for showcasing the genre's New Orleanian roots, currents of Latin jazz, and major works by artistic director Wynton Marsalis, including 1997’s "Blood on the Fields," the first jazz composition ever to be awarded the Pulitzer Prize. The group has been Jazz at Lincoln Center’s resident orchestra since 1988 and spends over a third of the year on tour across the world. Featured in all aspects of Jazz at Lincoln Center’s programming, this remarkably versatile orchestra performs and leads educational events in New York, across the U.S. and around the globe; in concert halls; dance venues; jazz clubs; public parks; and with symphony orchestras; ballet troupes; local students; and an ever-expanding roster of guest artists.
