Wynton Marsalis live in Vienna

Experience Wynton Marsalis live on September 12th

Wynton Marsalis is a highly acclaimed trumpeter, composer, and educator primarily known for his mastery of both classical and jazz music. His style blends virtuosic technique with a deep understanding of jazz traditions, particularly those of Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, and Charlie Parker. He frequently incorporates elements of blues, gospel, and other American musical forms into his work. Beyond performance, Marsalis is a prominent advocate for jazz education and artistic expression.

Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts, located in Vienna, Virginia, is the first national park dedicated to the performing arts. Established in 1966, it operates as a non-profit organization on National Park Service land. The venue is renowned for its outdoor Filene Center stage – an amphitheater seating approximately 3,000 – alongside smaller indoor venues like The Barns at Wolf Trap. It hosts a diverse range of performances including classical music, opera, pop, country, and dance throughout the summer season.

The upcoming performance on September 12th, 2026 features Wynton Marsalis and represents a continuation of Wolf Trap’s commitment to presenting internationally recognized artists across various genres.
