Directing
Celebrate the story and lasting impact of this iconic institution through inspiring stories of faith and democracy with a stirring performance of Wynton Marsalis' All Rise and appearances by Kathryn Hahn, Kwame Alexander, Misty Copeland, and more.
In January 2018, Rhiannon Giddens, Amythyst Kiah, Leyla McCalla, and Allison Russell collaborated on a groundbreaking and deeply personal album for Smithsonian Folkways called "Songs of Our Native Daughters." The result was a powerful, modern take on Black women's history and America's shared, but often hidden, musical roots. From a secluded Louisiana bayou recording studio to electrifying concerts around the country, witness four incredible musicians on an extraordinary creative journey.
"Wynton Marsalis’ All Rise: Live at Chautauqua" is a full-length performance film recorded during the institution’s 150th Anniversary celebration. All Rise is one of Marsalis’ most ambitious works. It features Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, Chautauqua’s Music School Festival Orchestra, and the Buffalo Philharmonic Chorus.
