Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis

Symphony Center

Two mighty orchestras present a rousing, jazz-meets-classical event. Discover selections from Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet, alternating between the original orchestral version performed by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and imaginative new jazz arrangements presented by the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. Both ensembles join forces for a selection from Wynton Marsalis’ Swing Symphony, which The Telegraph calls “a journey through jazz history and the sounds of America itself.”

An American enters an exciting yet unfamiliar European scene, as Gershwin leaves the listener smelling buttery croissants and seeing the twinkling of the Eiffel Tower.

Heinz Hall

The always-swinging Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra delivers a 21st-century take on the classic big-band sound. Led by trumpeter Wynton Marsalis — one of the most famous jazz musicians alive — this “virtuoso ensemble fluent in multiple jazz languages” (Chicago Tribune) performs everything from rare historic compositions to newly commissioned works.

Chicago Symphony Orchestra

Dvořák’s New World Symphony moves with magnificent energies and melodies that feel like home. Hearing it performed by the CSO at Music Hall is a must-have experience. Randall Goosby, a new champion of Florence Price’s solo works, returns for the composer’s Second Violin Concerto plus Chausson’s most popular work. Selections from Wynton Marsalis Blues Symphony trace the blueprints of a quintessential American style.
