History
Peter Jay Sharp arcade
In 1987, trumpeter Wynton Marsalis was involved in starting the Classical Jazz concert series, the first series of jazz concerts at Lincoln Center.[1]
In 1996, the Jazz at Lincoln Center organization became a constituent of Lincoln Center next to organizations such as the New York Philharmonic and the Metropolitan Opera. The budget for Jazz at Lincoln Center was $4 million in 1996, compared to $150 million for the Metropolitan Opera.[2] In 2016, its budget was over $50 million.[3] Wynton Marsalis has been artistic director since 1987. George Scholl became executive director in 2012. In 2015 it acquired the URL jazz.org.[1] Dwayne Ashley served Vice President of Development from 2011-2016, under his leadership, the organization raised more than $150MM comprehensively including its endowment campaign for $75MM.
Marsalis leads the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, which performs in the Appel Room and the Rose Theater. Concerts are also broadcast live online. Educational programs are broadcast on the Center's YouTube channel. Since 2015, the Orchestra's albums have been issued on its own label, Blue Engine Records.[1]
The Center distributes jazz curriculums to high schools through its Essentially Ellington program. Professional musicians visit schools through the Let Freedom Swing program. The Center runs a Middle School Jazz Academy, a High School Jazz Academy, and a Summer Academy, all in New York City, all of them with free tuition. Every year the Orchestra tours and visits schools throughout the U.S.[1] The Essentially Ellington High School Jazz Band Competition and Festival has supported high school jazz bands nationwide.[citation needed]
Rose Hall
Rose Theater
The performing arts complex, Frederick P. Rose Hall, was designed by Rafael Viñoly and constructed by Turner-Santa Fe in a joint venture between Turner Construction and Santa Fe Construction. Rose Hall consists of three venues: Rose Theater, The Apple Room[4], and Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola, named after trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie. The Hall also contains the Irene Diamond Education Center with rehearsal and recording rooms.
