Toledo Jazz Orchestra - Season Opener with Branford Marsalis

Thursday, September 14, 2023 | 8 p.m.

Saxophonist and three-time Grammy Award winner Branford Marsalis makes a special appearance with the Toledo Jazz Orchestra on their Hartmann Bogan Jazz series opener. [Cited as a Jazz Master by the National Endowment for the Arts, Marsalis crosses stylistic boundaries while maintaining an unwavering creative integrity.

As part of the Museum’s 1933 expansion including new East and West wings, architect Edward B. Green designed the Peristyle Theater.

A classical concert hall whose name means “an area surrounded by columns,” the Peristyle’s most distinguishing architectural feature is a curving row of 28 Ionic columns, which surround the main seating area, arranged in tiers reminiscent of theaters of ancient Greece. Inspired by a Greek agora, the two-story Peristyle lobby is animated by a painted Greek frieze.
