Led by Wynton Marsalis, the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra presents the European Premiere of The Democracy! Suite as well as a selection drawn from their vast canon of jazz masterworks.

“Jazz music is the perfect metaphor for democracy,” says famed trumpeter Wynton Marsalis. 

At a time when America, and indeed, the whole world, finds itself at a crossroads, the Pulitzer Prize-winning composer has been inspired to write a poignant work, The Democracy! Suite, which proves that the joy and beauty of jazz can bring us all closer together. Now a digital album from Marsalis and a septet composed of members of the famed Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, The Democracy! Suite features impassioned compositions that are a reflection of turbulent times, urging us into action.

Presented as a two-part concert, a septet opens the show with the European Premiere of The Democracy! Suite followed by a selection of music performed by the full orchestra.

Come join us before the show and enjoy jazz music on our FreeStage, with special guests.
