Jazz at Lincoln Centre and The Sydney Symphony Orchestra
Monday 31 July 2023 from 8pm to 9pm Tuesday 1 August 2023 from 8pm to 9pm
The genius of Wynton Marsalis brings together two orchestras and a choir to create the kaleidoscopic jazz symphony, All Rise.
With the talented musicians of Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, Sydney Symphony Orchestra and Sydney Philharmonia Choirs, the number of musicians on stage will be a visual spectacle – but wait until you hear them.
Over twelve epic movements of All Rise, Marsalis discovers fresh creative freedom within the classical form. It’s a tour de force that combines New Orleans jazz, gospel, spirituals, African chant, symphonic modernism, ragtime, blues, folk song and Latin dances.
Joyous and energetic, tantalising and transcendent – All Rise pulses with grandeur, complexity and contrasts, much like its great inspiration, multicultural America.
