About this Event
DUKE ELLINGTON AT 125 THE JAZZ AT LINCOLN CENTER ORCHESTRA
Duke Ellington used his international fame for the greater good throughout his career. To celebrate the musical giant’s 125th birthday, the JLCO salutes their greatest inspiration by performing some of his more socially conscious repertoire—music directed by Ted Nash.
Note: Wynton Marsalis will not perform at these concerts.
