ROSE THEATER JAZZ AT LINCOLN CENTER’S FREDERICK P. ROSE HALL jalc.org PROGRAM JAZZ AT LINCOLN CENTER 25TH ANNIVERSARY SEASON HONORS Since Jazz at Lincoln Center’s inception on August 3, 1987, when Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts initiated a three-performance summertime series called “Classical Jazz,” the organization has been steadfast in its commitment to broadening and deepening the public’s awareness of and participation in jazz. On July 1, 1996, Jazz at Lincoln Center became an independent non-profit organization, establishing a prominent place for jazz alongside the opera, ballet, symphony, and other fine arts at Lincoln Center.

Jazz at Lincoln Center has strived to joyously perform and produce music, to educate, and to gather people worldwide around jazz. This special 25th Anniversary Season presents us with a timely opportunity to honor our history and traditions, and to celebrate long term Jazz at Lincoln Center supporters and board members even as we create the moments of the future.

Throughout the 2012 –13 performance season, Jazz at Lincoln Center will salute its Board of Directors, recognize and honor individuals, foundations, and all levels of government whose dedication and support contributed to this uniquely American art form of jazz.

A Message from Mercedes Ellington, Granddaughter of Duke Ellington “I am forever grateful to Wynton Marsalis and Jazz at Lincoln Center for keeping the folk music of America alive, which is what my grandfather always liked to call jazz—‘American music.’ I would like to extend my thanks to Wynton, on behalf of my family, for keeping that legacy alive and making it available to the youth of America, and for the knowledge that the history is being passed down through music. I believe that the arts are the most important way of transporting history from one age to the next.” —Mercedes Ellington, 2013
