BARRE – Branford Marsalis will offer a rare Vermont performance when he and his quartet stop at the Barre Opera House on November 12 at 7:30 p.m.
New Orleans-born Branford Marsalis is an award-winning saxophonist, band leader, featured classical soloist, and a film and Broadway composer. In the process, he has become a multi- award-winning artist with three Grammys, a citation by the National Endowment for the Arts as a Jazz Master and an avatar of contemporary artistic excellence. The Branford Marsalis Quartet, formed in 1986, remains his primary means of expression.
In its three-plus decades of existence, the quartet has established a breadth of stylistic range. The quartet recently made its Blue Note Records debut with the release of “Belonging,” a full album interpretation of Keith Jarrett’s 1974 ECM album of the same name.
Tickets may be ordered online at barreoperahouse.org or call the Barre Opera House at (802) 476-8188. The Opera House, at 6 North Main Street, is handicapped accessible and is equipped for the hearing impaired.
