 Kicking off the 16th annual Chico World Music Festival will be the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis, performing on Friday, Sept. 18 in Laxson Auditorium at 7:30 p.m.

that includes original compositions and masterworks by Ellington,
Mingus, and Coltrane, and others. An extraordinarily versatile
orchestra, the JLCO has been called "the greatest large jazz ensemble
working today" by the Chicago Tribune. Marsalis, a driving force behind the Orchestra, is a nine-time Grammy Award winner.
Tickets are required for this performance in Laxson Auditorium, range
from $40-$55 and are available online or at the University Box Office
