Seattle Theatre Group will welcome back Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra to the Paramount Theatre for an evening of large-ensemble jazz at its pinnacle. Kicking off STG’s 2023/24 Performing Arts Series on Thursday, October 5, audiences will get to experience the finest jazz soloists and ensemble players today, led by artistic director, trumpeter extraordinaire, and nine-time Grammy Award-winner Wynton Marsalis.
Single tickets (starting at $35, not including fees) to this performance and 2023/24 Series subscription packages are on sale now and can be purchased online at www.stgpresents.org or in person at the Paramount Theatre Box Office at 911 Pine St. Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra is an all-ages event with reserved seating.
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.
