Show will be rescheduled
Jon Batiste has postponed his Carnegie Hall premiere this weekend due to him and members of his team testing positive for COVID-19.
“I thank all my supporters for their love and understanding. See you all soon!” Batiste shares.
Ticket holders are asked to retain their original tickets, which will be honored at the rescheduled performance to be announced.
He will also be absent from his position as band leader for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert for an unknown period of time.
Batiste was set to premiere his latest opus, a culmination of more than a century of black brilliance at Carnegie Hall on Saturday, May 7th. In American Symphony, the Oscar-winning composer salutes musical visionaries—such as Duke Ellington, James Reese Europe, Mahalia Jackson, and Nina Simone—who once stood on the very stage upon which he concludes his Perspectives series.
Last month, Batiste took home four trophies at the 64th Annual GRAMMY Awards.
