Out of respect for our audience and in light of the circumstances involving COVID-19, the ASO postponed its presentation of Duke Ellington + Marcus Roberts Trio originally scheduled for March 12, 2020. The performance will be rescheduled for a later date with the same cast and artists. Details of the rescheduled performance will be posted as soon as possible.

In an effort to reduce the spread of the virus, all events at Carnegie Hall are canceled until further notice.
