Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Music, the National Medal of Arts, and nine GRAMMY Awards (so far), Wynton Marsalis has profoundly influenced American music and championed the cause of music education for generations. Through his leadership, the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra has partnered with Virginia Arts Festival in a landmark education program that brings top student musicians from Historically Black Colleges and Universities to a conference and adjudicated competition that culminates in a joint performance onstage with the Orchestra. Hear the best of today and tomorrow in this year's performance as we mark Wynton Marsalis's final year as Music Director of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra.
