Chris Crenshaw, a 2005 alumnus from Valdosta State University's
Music Performance program, has fulfilled his lifelong dream. This
summer Chris accepted an offer by Wynton Marsalis to become the
newest member of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra.
The Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra is one of the premiere jazz
ensembles in the world and functions as a non-profit organization
specializing in the music of jazz great Duke Ellington. Crenshaw
performed for the first time as the jazz soloist during a summer
tour to Japan.
