Wynton Marsalis at Buxton Opera House

Jazz royalty comes to Buxton!

Wynton Marsalis is a world renowned trumpeter, bandleader, composer, and a leading advocate of American culture. Marsalis will be playing specially selected works in, what for him is, an intimate concert at Buxton Opera House.

Marsalis performs and composes across the entire spectrum of jazz and has written jazz influenced chamber music and symphonic works for revered classical ensembles across the US and abroad. He is inspired to experiment in an ever-widening palette of forms and concepts that constitute some of the most advanced thinking in modern jazz and in American music on the broad scale. His body of original work includes (but is not limited to) 600 songs and movements, 11 dance scores, 13 suites, four symphonies, two chamber pieces, two string quartets, a jazz oratorio, a fanfare, and concertos for violin and tuba.
