PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- Six members of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra performed for some 650 students from area schools Tuesday at RISD Auditorium in Providence.
The performance, tied to a curriculum the students have been working on this month to learn about jazz and where the music comes from, is sponsored by FirstWorks Spring 2013 Arts Learning Residency Program.
On Jan. 27, the full orchestra, along with trumpeter Wynton Marsalis, will perform at the Veterans Auditorium.
