Join us on June 18th as we proudly honor Wynton Marsalis at our annual Gala celebration. A world-renowned trumpeter, composer, bandleader, and one of the foremost advocates of American culture, Marsalis has devoted more than four decades to elevating and advancing jazz around the globe. Born in New Orleans and shaped by a rich musical legacy, he rose to international prominence after joining Art Blakey and the The Jazz Messengers, and has since performed thousands of concerts across hundreds of cities worldwide. As Managing and Artistic Director of Jazz at Lincoln Center, Director of Jazz Studies at The Juilliard School, and President of the Louis Armstrong Educational Foundation, Marsalis continues to shape the future of jazz through performance, composition, and education. His extraordinary body of work and global honors reflect a lifelong commitment to the power of music to inspire freedom, swing, resilience, and collective action. We are thrilled to celebrate his enduring artistry and leadership in the very home of Louis Armstrong. Save the date, June 18th 2026, sign up to our newsletter to be the first to learn more!
