Composer, trumpeter, and standard-bearer for the art form, jazz legend Wynton Marsalis has earned scores of awards including the Pulitzer Prize for Music. In 1983, he became the first and only artist ever to win both a Classical and Jazz GRAMMY in the same year; in 1984 he did it again. Joined by the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, The Philadelphia Orchestra performs Marsalis’s newest work on a program with Beethoven’s lively, melodic Seventh Symphony. An America 250 Event As Philadelphia takes part in the nation’s 250th anniversary celebrations, we are proud to honor the voices of those who helped shape our country but were not fully heard in 1776. The world premiere of Marsalis’s Symphony No. 5 (“Liberty”), co-commissioned by the Orchestra, reflects our commitment to amplifying historically marginalized voices and inviting great American musicians to our stages.
