Experience Wynton Marsalis live on March 5th

Wynton Marsalis, a trumpeter and composer, will perform at the Newman Center For The Performing Arts in Denver, Colorado on March 5, 2027. Marsalis is widely recognized as a leading figure in contemporary jazz, deeply rooted in the traditions of Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington. His musical style encompasses not only virtuosity on the trumpet but also explorations of blues, funk, and classical music; he has won Grammy Awards in both jazz and classical categories. He frequently champions jazz education and historical preservation within the genre.

The Newman Center For The Performing Arts opened in 1981 and serves as a multi-venue performing arts complex. It comprises several performance spaces including Boettcher Concert Hall, where Marsalis is scheduled to appear, the Ellie Caulkins Opera House, and the Jones Theatre. Boettcher Concert Hall is known for its acoustics and hosts a variety of performances including classical music concerts, Broadway shows, and dance recitals. The Center is a significant cultural hub for Denver and regularly welcomes nationally and internationally acclaimed artists. It underwent a major renovation completed in 2002 which enhanced its facilities and accessibility.
