Founded in 1988, the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra (JLCO) with Wynton Marsalis tours the world performing a vast repertoire of music, from original compositions to arrangements of famous jazz pieces. Headed by trumpeter and music director Wynton Marsalis, the orchestra is heading to Japan for the first time in 20 years this March for three shows in Tokyo.
Based in New York City and composed of 15 members – all accomplished jazz soloists and ensemble players – JLCO spends around one third of the year touring the world and engaging in a range of musical activities. These include educational workshops aimed at sharing the joy of learning music, which Japanese students in Tokyo will also get to experience. This spring, immerse yourself in the world of jazz and experience the genre’s depth and charm.
Tickets can be purchased in English via Japanticket.
