Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis: World Premiere Honoring 15 KU Icons

The world-renowned Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis (JLCO) brought down the house premiering Rock Chalk Suite, a commission honoring 15 KU basketball legends, at the Lied Center in 2018. The resounding feedback made it clear—we must build upon this groundbreaking and remarkable work.

The JLCO members will, once again, compose a new work commissioned by the Lied Center, this time inspired by seminal figures in KU history—from athletes to an astronaut, a Nobel Peace Prize winner and more. Through the generosity of private donors, each movement of the new commission is sponsored, and proceeds from the project will help fund bus transportation for all students in USD 497 to attend free, school-only performances. Join us for a truly memorable moment in the KU community when the world’s greatest jazz orchestra commemorates iconic Jayhawks at the world premiere on November 6.
