UNIVERSITY PARK (Wednesday, March 2) — A performance by Delfeayo Marsalis and Uptown Jazz Orchestra, postponed in February by the artist due to unforeseen circumstances, has been rescheduled.

The free virtual concert will be available to watch beginning at noon Monday, March 21, and will continue to stream until noon Friday, March 25. Registration is required. Visit https://cpa.psu.edu/events/delfeayo-marsalis-2022 for more information and to register. Those who previously registered for the stream do not need to register again.
