Hi everyone,

Ken Fischer here, president of UMS. Thanks for your feedback.

The intention of both the orchestra and UMS was to have the performance duration be similar to prior years (with UMS’s award presentation extending the duration of the event). The award presentation did not take the place of otherwise scheduled music. The orchestra has shared their set list with us — please find the full list below. At the end of the concert, prior to the intended encore, the house lights were raised partially and many audience members began to leave. We think that the encore selection may have suffered from the confusion that ensued.

We tremendously value your feedback and your support of Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. Our sincerest apologies if this event fell below some of your expectations. We will aim to do better in future seasons.

Sincerely,

Ken Fischer
