On March 30, 2009 Wynton Marsalis delivered the 22nd Annual Nancy Hanks Lecture on Arts and Public Policy to a capacity crowd in the Concert Hall of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Mr. Marsalis's lecture, entitled The Ballad of American Arts, focused on the importance of arts and culture to the American identity and featured special performances throughout by members of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. A performance not soon to be forgotten, the night included two standing ovations and a blistering encore performance from Mr. Marsalis and members of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. Please scroll down to watch and listen to the lecture, as well as read press coverage of the Nancy Hanks Lecture and other Arts Advocacy Day events.
