Experience Wynton Marsalis live on March 9th

Wynton Marsalis will perform at the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts in Kansas City, Missouri on March 9, 2027. Marsalis is a trumpeter, composer, and educator primarily known for his mastery of jazz. His musical style encompasses a broad range within the genre, deeply rooted in the traditions of Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, and other foundational figures. He frequently performs both classical repertoire and original jazz compositions, often exploring themes of American history and culture through his work. He has been a leading advocate for jazz education and preservation throughout his career.

The Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts opened in September 2011 as a major addition to Kansas City’s cultural landscape. Designed by Moshe Safdie, the Center features two performance halls: Muriel Kauffman Theatre, primarily used for opera, ballet and Broadway-scale events; and the Kauffman Concert Hall, designed specifically for orchestral music. The building’s distinctive architectural design incorporates glass and steel elements intended to create an open and welcoming atmosphere.
