Wynton Marsalis | Speaking a Common Language

As we begin our week of shared inspiration titled “Rising Together: Our Century of Creativity and Collaboration” in partnership with Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra,” we are honored this morning to be joined by the internationally acclaimed musician, composer, bandleader, educator and a leading advocate of American culture, Wynton Marsalis. For his 1997 oratorio Blood on the Fields, Mr. Marsalis became the first jazz musician ever to win the Pulitzer Prize for Music, and he extended his achievements in that piece with All Rise, which was first performed in 1999. The performances this week happen on the 25th anniversary of the work. We are so pleased to be celebrating big anniversaries together. At 17, Mr. Marsalis became the youngest musician ever to be admitted to Tanglewood’s Berkshire Music Center. Since then, he has produced more than 80 records and won two George Foster Peabody Awards, an Emmy Award, and nine Grammy Awards. Mr. Marsalis is the only artist ever to win Grammys in five consecutive years. In 1987, he co-founded the jazz program at Lincoln Center. For his work, Mr. Marsalis has been the recipient of countless honors around the world, including being appointed by The French Ministry of Culture to the rank of Knight in the Order of Arts and Literature and in the United States, he has received a National Medal of the Arts, the Louis Armstrong Memorial Medal, and the Frederick Douglass Medallion from the New York Urban League. -- As a not-for-profit organization, all of Chautauqua Institution's programs and offerings are made possible by philanthropy.
