UNIVERSITY PARK — A concert broadcast live by family musical trombonist Delfeayo Marsalis and Uptown Jazz Orchestra has been rescheduled until 8 pm on Friday, November 20. The October 30 event was postponed due to a power outage in New Orleans – where the performance will take place – caused by Hurricane Zeta.

Visit the Performing Arts Center Online for more information on the free presentation.

The musicians will perform excerpts from their recent CD “Jazz Party”, as well as a variety of street brass compositions.

The program is part of the Performing Arts Centre’s “Up Close and Virtual” fall season. Contributions from center members and a grant from the University Park Student Fee Board help make the program free. The Glenn and Nancy Gamble Foundation provides additional support.

“We can expect an engaging, exciting and uplifting performance,” said center director George Trudeau.

Marsalis is one of the best jazz trombonists, composers and producers. Known for his “technical excellence, inventive spirit and frequent touches of humor” (Los Angeles Times), he is “one of the best, most imaginative and musical trombonists of his generation” (San Francisco Examiner).

In 2011, Delfeayo and the Marsalis family (Father Ellis and brothers Branford, Wynton and Jason) won the country’s highest jazz honor – a National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Masters Award.

Geisinger and Northwest support the virtual presentations of the Center for the Performing Arts.
