Event description

Immerse yourself in the vibrant rhythms and rich history of jazz with the Eugene Symphony's presentation of Wynton Marsalis' Swing Symphony on Thursday, May 22, at 7:30 PM. This one-night-only event promises a symphonic meditation on the evolution of swing, taking audiences on a journey through the heart of American jazz—from the ragtime of New Orleans to the swing of Kansas and the bebop of New York. Celebrate the nation's tremendous musical heritage under the baton of Francesco Lecce-Chong, alongside jazz great Darrell Grant and the 15-member Pacific Northwest Jazz All-Stars, in what promises to be a perfect send-off for Lecce-Chong's tenure as Music Director and Artistic Partner.

Darrell Grant, a pivotal figure in the jazz world, brings his extensive experience and passion to the stage. With a career spanning decades, Grant's work as a pianist, composer, and educator has been marked by a commitment to community, purpose, and the transformative power of art. His collaboration with the Eugene Symphony for this performance is a testament to his stature in the jazz community and his dedication to creating meaningful musical experiences.

The concert will take place at the Hult Center for the Performing Arts, ensuring an evening of exceptional acoustics and ambiance. Attendees are encouraged to prioritize health and safety, with the Eugene Symphony welcoming and supporting the choice of patrons to wear masks during the performance. This event not only celebrates the legacy of Wynton Marsalis but also underscores the Eugene Symphony's commitment to delivering extraordinary musical experiences while ensuring the well-being of its audience, musicians, and staff.

Don't miss this opportunity to witness a unique blend of classical music and jazz, showcasing the best of Wynton Marsalis' compositions performed by an ensemble of talented musicians. It's a musical exploration of swing that promises to be as enlightening as it is entertaining.
