CSO Presents: Jazz at Lincoln Center

Part of the CSO & Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra Festival (October 2–4, 2026). "The CSO season opens with a residency featuring Măcelaru's longtime friend and collaborator Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, the world's premier big band. Marsalis, one of the most influential figures in jazz, announced in January 2026 that he would step down as Artistic Director of Jazz at Lincoln Center after nearly 40 years. This residency with Măcelaru and the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra represents one of Marsalis' valedictory appearances in that role, making this engagement historic for Cincinnati audiences.
