All Rise: Symphony no. 1

All Rise, a monumental work by Wynton Marsalis, is the cornerstone of Hancher’s 50th anniversary season. The architecture of the piece is progressive—it represents a series of events and blends the sounds of jazz, blues, classical, and indigenous music from around the world to represent humanity’s enduring ascendance over time. All Rise is a celebration of shared responsibility and resilience. Working together to improve our communities, we can all rise up to meet challenges as we pursue social justice, a shared sense of well-being, and a sustainable future.
