Wynton Marsalis is scheduled to perform at the Newman Center for the Performing Arts in Denver, Colorado on March 6, 2027. Marsalis is a trumpeter, composer, and educator primarily recognized for his mastery of and advocacy for jazz music. His style encompasses a broad range within the genre, from straight-ahead post-bop and hard bop influenced by musicians like Miles Davis and Dizzy Gillespie, to explorations of classical music, blues, and other American musical traditions. He frequently incorporates elements of storytelling and historical context into his performances.

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 slated to appear – the Ellie Caulkins Opera House, and the Studio Theatre. Boettcher Concert Hall is known for its acoustics and hosts a variety of performances including classical music concerts, Broadway shows, and popular artists. The Center is home to the Colorado Symphony Orchestra and the Opera Colorado company. It underwent significant renovations and expansions in the early 2000s to enhance its facilities and accessibility.
