The Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis returns to Carolina Performing Arts blending swing, soul, and storytelling with their polished arrangements and iconic sound. Known for their tight-knit chemistry, the group brings energy, heart, and history to every performance. Get ready for a night that’s rich in rhythm, full of feeling, and alive with possibility. The Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis has appeared on the Memorial Hall stage 13 times across 20 CPA seasons. The Orchestra has become a cornerstone of CPA’s story. Their return reflects not just tradition, but a living, breathing relationship with the history of jazz — a genre rooted in resilience, expression, and cultural legacy. Through every performance, they honor that past while pushing the music forward, embodying the kind of artistic continuity and reinvention that speaks to the heart of what we believe in: that the arts are not only preserved, but carried forward through shared experience, memory, and renewal.
