In the Multipurpose Room - Jazz expert Linda Yohn will engage participants in an exploration of modern-day legend and frequent UMS performer Wynton Marsalis, whose notions of what jazz is and should be resonate alongside his incredible artistry as a musician, bandleader, and composer. This Who Is…? event is presented in conjunction with Marsalis’ concert with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra on March 17 at Hill Auditorium.

The UMS Who is … Series seeks to explore the artists that served as the creative impetus behind this season’s programs. In an attempt to break down the barriers between performer and audience, the UMS Education Dept. will collaborate with a host of experts to engage audience members through an interactive discussion, ultimately demystifying these great artists and their work.

A collaboration with Ann Arbor District Library, and the U-M School of Music, Theatre & Dance
