The American trumpeter Wynton Marsalis will host a ground-breaking workshop in Soweto's Walter Sisulu Square on the 24th of September ahead of his Standard Bank Joy of Jazz performances from 26, 27 and 28 September in Sandton Convention Centre, Johannesburg.
Marsalis will bring with him his 15-piece Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra (JLCO) to wow and share his genius with invited ensembles and schools, which include Music Academy of Gauteng, Morris Issacson Music Centre, Tshwane School of Music, the Johannesburg Youth Orchestra Company, Thaba Jabula Secondary School, Central Joburg College and the Wits School of Arts.
The Joy of Jazz organizers said:
"This Heritage Day, 24 September, the Standard Bank Joy of Jazz will host a show for young people from different music schools and backgrounds. JLCO with Wynton Marsalis will be presenting an interactive performance for Gauteng youth and presenting interactive lessons."
“We are inviting schools and various young people to register to be part of this ground-breaking workshop and get to experience the legendary Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Centre Orchestra live sharing knowledge on music. This is a rare opportunity and we would like to thank Mr Marsalis for availing himself for this before their three performances at the main festival to interact and engage with our youth. The registration process has begun and we would like to encourage everyone to go to our website and be a part of history”, said Mantwa Chinoamadi, Joy of Jazz producer.
