Wynton Marsalis’ Swing Symphony
FRANCESCO’S FINAL CONCERT
Experience a powerful musical convergence as the legendary Wynton Marsalis's groundbreaking compositions meet the vibrant energy of the Pacific Northwest Jazz All-Stars and the majestic Eugene Symphony!
Darrell Grant, a jazz titan in his own right, leads this 15-member powerhouse through Marsalis's rich tapestry of sound, weaving together New Orleans Ragtime, Kansas Swing, and the electrifying pulse of New York bebop. This is more than a concert—it's a journey through the heart of American jazz, a once-in-a-lifetime experience!
Don’t miss this spectacular send-off for the visionary Music Director and Artistic Partner, Francesco Lecce-Chong.
Join the after-party in the Hult Center lobby to toast Francesco Lecce-Chong’s 8-year tenure with the Eugene Symphony.
Please note, Wynton Marsalis will not be performing at the concert.
Tickets start at $15, with $10 student/youth tickets.
