The Washington Performing Arts Society Hosts
Wynton Marsalis
Suite for Human Nature
TThe Washington Performing Arts Society (WPAS) presented the world
premiere of “Suite for Human Nature,” featuring jazz phenomenon Wynton
Marsalis, the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra and The Boys Choir of Harlem at the historic Lincoln Theatre on December 10. The stellar performance
was followed by a VIP reception at the Thurgood Marshall Center, where
elated guests had the chance to meet Marsalis, known by many as the “Ambassador of Jazz.” The event, chaired by Karen Hastie Williams and
Daniel Korengold, honored WPAS President Emeritus Douglas H. Wheeler
and the 40th Anniversary of the Black Student Fund, the beneficiary of
the evening’s festivities. Performances were held in D.C. throughout the
weekend before the production moved to New York’s Lincoln Center to kick
off the “Jazz at Lincoln Center” series.
