Part of our Grand Celebration Season—marking the amazing achievement of completing Steinmetz Hall as part of the original Dr. Phillips Center design.Grand Celebration Season supported by AdventHealth, Massey Services, Inc., American Momentum Bank, and Experience Kissimmee. This show is also part of our Freedom Series, supported by TD Bank.
Jazz is America’s music—and Duke Ellington was its number one creator. His work Black, Brown and Beige is an American masterpiece that set out to broaden a person’s—and a country’s—sense of history. Critics panned its premiere in New York’s Carnegie Hall in 1943, simply because it was ahead of its time.
Now, 80 years later, The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra will join members of The Jazz Orchestra at Dr. Phillips Center and players from Jazz at Lincoln Center—along with the Bethune-Cookman University Concert Chorale and vocal soloists—to honor Ellington’s most significant work. This monumental evening will feature the professional world premiere of the orchestration of Black, Brown and Beige created at Ellington’s request.
Seats will fill up fast. Get tickets now for the performance of a lifetime—as Steinmetz Hall continues to take its place as one of the world’s most important concert halls.
