QC MLK Day Celebration: Branford Marsalis Quartet

NEA Jazz Master and three-time Grammy Award winner, legendary saxophonist Branford Marsalis, is one of the most revered figures in jazz and contemporary music. Marsalis presents a kaleidoscopic range of original compositions, along with jazz and popular classics, all supercharged by the quartet's extraordinary energy and telepathic musical connection. This concert is part of KCA's annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Celebration. Every January since 2017, KCA and Queens College have held a special event in honor and memory of Dr. King's legacy and his connection to Queens College, where he delivered a powerful speech in 1965. This special program includes a keynote address by the event's honoree and a recognition ceremony at 3pm, the Branford Marsalis Quartet concert at 4pm, followed by a post-show reception.
