Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra at Virginia Arts Festival at Attucks Theatre

About

The gifts just keep coming with this legendary ensemble, hailed as the "finest big band in the world today" (The Daily Telegraph). Headed by a virtuoso trumpeter and composer who is arguably the most famous name in jazz today — nine-time Grammy winner and recipient of the Pulitzer Prize, Wynton Marsalis — the orchestra includes some of the top soloists in the art form. And under Marsalis's leadership, the orchestra pays tribute to the past and commissions bold new works for the future. Savor the best of the best when Wynton takes the stage graced by legends such as Cab Calloway, Duke Ellington, and Nat King Cole, in two back-to-back performances at the intimate Attucks Theatre — but hurry, because these limited tickets will go fast!
