Join Grammy nominated saxophonist and composer Immanuel Wilkins (2023 Creative Capital Awardee) in celebrating his latest release, Live at the Village Vanguard Vol 1 (March 20, 2026).

Hailed by The New York Times for his riveting, improvisatory style, Wilkins brings his remarkable quartet featuring Micah Thomas on piano, Ryoma Takenaga on bass, and Kweku Sumbry on drums, to the Pioneer Works Main Hall stage for a performance of Live at the Village Vanguard Vol 1 that promises to be less of a standard concert and more of a communal ritual.
