Join the legendary Sun Ra Arkestra for an unforgettable evening of cosmic jazz and Afro-futurism. Founded in the mid-1950s by the visionary Sun Ra, the Arkestra has captivated audiences with its electrifying blend of big-band swing, space-age jazz, and vibrant Afro-pageantry. Renowned for their groundbreaking use of synthesizers and a powerful message of positive vibrations, the ensemble has recorded over 100 albums and remains a beacon of innovation in the music world. Now led by the iconic 100-year-old Marshall Allen—an alto saxophonist, multi-instrumentalist, and 2025 NEA Jazz Master—the Arkestra continues to push boundaries while honoring its rich legacy.
