Wynton Marsalis' The Jungle (Symphony no. 4)
JLCO Performances • 1h 13m
The National Symphony Orchestra of Romania, conducted by Cristian Măcelaru, joins forces with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis to perform THE JUNGLE. Commissioned in 2017 for the 175th Anniversary of the New York Philharmonic, THE JUNGLE is Wynton Marsalis's fourth symphony and is now available as a record on all streaming services.
THE JUNGLE is about what we see in our city today—the beautiful, the bleak, and the ever-present but often-overlooked commonalities of our shared humanity.
