About this event

Wynton Marsalis and Metropolitan Opera general manager Peter Gelb discuss how jazz influences work across musical genres. Drawing on materials from the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts, the panel considers improvisation, composition, storytelling and cultural inheritance. This is an onstage conversation at the library, presented with the Metropolitan Opera rather than a separately advertised jazz concert.

Organizer: Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts
