In October 2022, UMS hosted an intensive weeklong residency with Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra that included two concerts, a School Day Performance, multiple residency activities on and off campus, and a halftime performance at the Michigan football game. While a February residency precludes an appearance on the 50-yard line, UMS is thrilled that Wynton and his Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra will return for another distinctive UMS residency this year featuring multiple performances and this talk.
