I have always considered the Duke Ellington Orchestra to be one of the greatest musical ensembles in the history of music. The longevity, intimacy and power of their music remain unmatched.” Wynton Marsalis – New York Times
Last year, the Duke Ellington Orchestra celebrated its 100th anniversary – the only orchestra officially named after legendary American musician Edward “Duke” Ellington, the greatest jazz composer of the twentieth century. Duke personally led the orchestra for over 50 years, from 1923 to 1974.
In 2025, the Duke Ellington Orchestra will give two exclusive concerts in Austria, namely in Linz and Vienna. These performances are the only opportunities to experience this orchestra’s masterful jazz interpretations in Austria this year. The concerts promise to be unforgettable events for jazz enthusiasts and are a testament to the lasting legacy of Duke Ellington’s genius. It will surely be one of the greatest jazz experiences of 2025 in Austria.
Ellington’s career, which spanned more than five decades, included over two thousand compositions, including “It Don’t Mean a Thing (If It Ain’t Got That Swing),” “MoodIndigo,” “Sophisticated Lady,” and many, many more. One of the most prominent African-American figures of the last century, Duke Ellington influenced millions of people around the world and at home. His gift for melody and his mastery of texture, rhythm, and composition are unparalleled in all of jazz history.
