New York’s T.3 has become a bona fide sensation in the world of a cappella. With striking arrangements, dazzling three-part harmonies, and playful, familiar repertoire drawn from Broadway, Disney, and pop tunes, the trio has taken instant success from TikTok to fan-favorite status on America’s Got Talent and a variety of concert stages nationwide.

Jon Batiste premieres his latest opus, a culmination of more than a century of Black brilliance at Carnegie Hall. In American Symphony, the Oscar-winning composer salutes musical visionaries—such as Duke Ellington, James Reese Europe, Mahalia Jackson, and Nina Simone—who once stood on the very stage upon which he concludes his Perspectives series.

Limited availability. Call CarnegieCharge at 212-247-7800 for more information.

 

 

*Originally scheduled for Saturday, May 7, the world premiere of Jon Batiste’s American Symphony will now take place on Thursday, September 22 at 8 PM. Tickets for the original date will still be honored.
