“From first to last he immersed himself in an intense and demanding performance…in each piece he captured the theme’s essence while projecting his formidable personality (London Financial Times).” 

 

Saxophonist Branford Marsalis has been lauded the world over, and on the evening of Saturday, September 7, he comes to Tryon Fine Arts Center to mark 50 years of fine arts in the Foothills. TFAC invites the community to join the celebration with an inspired evening of a duo performance from Branford Marsalis and his band’s long-time pianist Joey Calderazzo. 

Underwriter tickets include a pre-show reception as well as preferred seats and a special meet-and-greet with the artists following the performance. Patron tickets are general admission, and include the pre-show reception and toast to TFAC’s 50th Anniversary. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to see the renowned Jazz duo in an intimate venue while celebrating an exciting milestone for the arts in Tryon.
