Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra live in North Bethesda

Experience Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra live on May 13th

Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra (LCJO), under the leadership of Wynton Marsalis, presents a performance on May 13, 2027, at The Music Center at Strathmore in North Bethesda, Maryland. The LCJO is renowned for its dedication to the preservation and promotion of jazz music, particularly focusing on the traditions established by Duke Ellington, Count Basie, and other masters of the art form. Their repertoire encompasses a broad range of jazz styles – from early big band swing to more contemporary compositions – often incorporating improvisation and exploring the historical context of the music.

The Music Center at Strathmore opened in 2003 and serves as a prominent cultural hub for Montgomery County, Maryland, and the greater Washington D.C. metropolitan area. The venue features two concert halls: the larger Music Center Hall, designed with inspiration from European concert halls emphasizing natural acoustics, and a more intimate second hall. Strathmore hosts a diverse array of performances including classical music, jazz, world music, and contemporary artists. It’s also home to the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra’s secondary performance location and offers educational programs alongside its performance schedule.
