1,000 Voices of Florida presents the 7th Annual Duke Ellington Sacred Jazz Concert!

Come experience Ellington’s jubilant sound on the lawn of the museum with brassy horns, tickled ivories, and toe-tapping beats.

Legendary bandleader Duke Ellington ascended the ranks of American jazz by reinventing the big-band sound. From Harlem’s Cotton Club to venues around the world, Ellington’s orchestra delighted millions with gems like “It Don’t Mean a Thing (If It Ain’t Got That Swing)” and “Prelude to a Kiss,” and spiritual music, too. Ellington defied genre and tradition, uniting music lovers of all lifestyles and backgrounds.

The concert is free — and admission to the museum will also be free all day.

Please bring your own blankets and/or lawn chairs.
