Wynton Marsalis is scheduled to perform at the Dominion Energy Center in Richmond, Virginia on March 31, 2027. Marsalis is a trumpeter, composer, and educator primarily recognized for his contributions to contemporary jazz, though his work also encompasses classical music, blues, and funk. He is a leading advocate for jazz music education and preservation, often exploring the historical roots of the genre while simultaneously pushing its boundaries. His style is characterized by virtuosic technique, melodic improvisation, and a strong emphasis on the traditions of jazz masters like Louis Armstrong and Miles Davis.

The Dominion Energy Center is a performing arts venue located in downtown Richmond. Originally opened in 1980 as the Carpenter Theatre at Dominion, it underwent significant expansion and renovation completed in 2010. The complex now includes the Carpenter Theatre – a proscenium theatre known for its acoustics and ornate design – as well as the Alice Jepson Theatre, a smaller more intimate space. It serves as home to the Richmond Symphony and hosts a variety of performances including Broadway shows, concerts, opera, and ballet. The building’s architecture incorporates elements of both historic preservation and modern design.
