Jazz up your holiday celebration with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, helmed by legendary Music Director Wynton Marsalis! This magical evening of festive music blends classical, jazz, and holiday favorites, featuring 15 of the finest jazz soloists and ensemble players today, including spectacular young vocalists Sotashe and Swift. This remarkably versatile orchestra is known for their vast repertoire ranging from original compositions and Jazz at Lincoln Center-commissioned works to rare historic compositions and masterworks by Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Thelonious Monk, Mary Lou Williams, and many others.
