Beginning in late February, the nonprofit organization is looking to feature sets that examine history and explore the work of contemporary players. Among the four planned concerts is “Freedom, Justice And Hope,” a May 21 event when bassist Endea Owens and trumpeter Josh Evans are set to premiere new music alongside Wynton Marsalis and The Jazz At Lincoln Center Orchestra. The evening also will feature readings selected by Marsalis and activist Bryan Stevenson.
Information about other shows in the series is below.
Individual tickets per concert are $20; subscribers pay $15; and members pay up to $15. DB
