Carol Jantsch To Premiere Wynton Marsalis Tuba Concerto With Philadelphia Orchestra
On May 5, 2021, the Philadelphia Orchestra announced plans for its Fall 2021 season. Amidst works that bring inclusivity to the orchestral world, a new tuba concerto written by Jazz musician and composer Wynton Marsalis will be included in the orchestra’s special performances.
Marsalis is no stranger to symphonic writing as some of his compositions include several symphonies, a Pulitzer Prize-winning oratorio, and a violin concerto recorded by Nicola Benedetti and the Philadelphia Orchestra. Leading the Orchestra in this World Premiere performance will be Yannick Nézet-Séguin with the soloist being tubist Carol Jantsch, a pioneering musician also known for many cross-genre collaborations including her cover band Tubular.
