Discover a world of music with this season's jazz series.

Since our inaugural season in 1989, jazz has been a cornerstone of the Wexner Center performing arts programs, featuring artists like Herbie Hancock, Wynton Marsalis, and Joshua Redman in an unbelievably intimate setting. This season we are highlighting a diverse spectrum of contemporary jazz artists from around the world including trumpeter Etienne Charles with his band Creole Soul, rising saxophonist Immanuel Wilkins, veteran pianist Kenny Barron, and longtime Wex favorite Bill Frisell. You won't want to miss any of these upcoming shows in “the best room in town for jazz.”
