Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis

Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis

Imagined as a deep exchange between some of the world’s leading artists and the students of Interlochen Arts Camp, the Distinguished Artist Series returns in summer of 2027 with The Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra (JLCO) and trumpeter, composer and bandleader Wynton Marsalis.  

Hailed by many as the “Pied Piper of jazz” and “Doctor of swing,” Wynton Marsalis has rekindled and animated widespread interest in jazz through performances, education, and relentless advocacy. His extensive list of accolades includes the National Medal of the Arts (2005) and a Pulitzer Prize. He has served as the managing and artistic director of Jazz at Lincoln Center since 1987. Established in 1988, the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra is widely regarded as the world’s premier big band. 

A component of Interlochen’s centennial celebration, the Shirley Young Distinguished Artist Series brings some of the world’s leading artists to Interlochen Arts Camp to work with students and present public performances. Net proceeds from this performance will be directed into the Shirley Young Distinguished Artist Series Endowment, creating a self-sustaining fund that will enable Interlochen to bring artists of this caliber to our community for generations to come.
