Join Ford School Dean Celeste Watkins-Hayes and Wynton Marsalis in a public conversation reflecting on America at 250, the role of music in our culture and society, and the ways that artists help shape our future.

Presented in partnership with the University Musical Society.

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.
