The American Symphony Orchestra celebrates the genre-defying genius of Duke Ellington with an evening including two world premiere arrangements by Marcus Roberts of “New World A-Comin’” and “Three Black Kings” for jazz trio and large orchestra. The orchestra performs Ellington’s iconic music on the stage of Carnegie Hall, where he played a series of annual concerts and premiered many of his greatest works, including “Black, Brown, and Beige” and “Night Creature.” Grammy award winning jazz singer, Catherine Russell, makes a guest appearance.
