Conducted by Gunther Schuller - MingusMingus Orchestra

Charles Mingus’ Epitaph Orchestra, conducted by the internationally renowned Gunther Schuller, takes the stage in a concert commemorating the work of the legendary jazz musician and composer. His master orchestral work, Epitaph, was discovered after Mingus’ death and is considered one of the longest pieces in jazz history with 19 movements. Truly ahead of his time, Mingus is described by Schuller as a “rarity amongst jazz musicians, who actually wrote a lot of music just like a symphony composer.”
