All Rise Opens Festival with Marsalis | Edinburgh News
Description
The Edinburgh International Festival roared to life with Wynton Marsalis’ epic, two-hour symphony “All Rise,” a vibrant tribute to American music that united over 200 musicians and moved audiences to tears. This year’s festival, led by violinist Nicola Benedetti, celebrates U.S. culture in its biggest-ever showcase, blending blues, global rhythms, and emotional depth to honor America’s spirit ahead of its 250th anniversary. The opening also marks the debut of a historic jazz residency featuring Marsalis’ legendary Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra — soon to be led by someone else — alongside a dazzling collaboration with pianist Yuja Wang. With performances running through August 30th, this is a bold, soulful, and ambitious celebration of art, unity, and American identity.
