The American singer\u2019s distinctive, velvety voice, exceptional improvisational skill, and deeply human style captivate audiences in the world\u2019s most prestigious concert halls. At his performances, that rare and intangible magic is reborn again and again\u2014making live music something truly worth, even essential, to experience in person. He brings this magic to Margaret Island as well!<\/p>\n<p><strong>In the Brass Palace \u2013 live on Margaret Island!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At his Margaret Island concert, Kurt Elling will present his latest album, In The Brass Palace, released in February 2026. The concert centers around this large-scale musical work built on a modern big band sound, in which Elling realizes a unique artistic vision: the full big band sound is centered around the human voice\u2014not merely as accompaniment, but as the central element of musical storytelling. On the original recording, the WDR Big Band collaborated, while at the Margaret Island concert the richly orchestrated pieces will be performed by the Hungarian All-Star Big Band, composed of outstanding musicians from Hungary\u2019s jazz scene. The program unfolds as a series of dynamic, cinematic scenes, where classic big band tradition, contemporary jazz sound, and Elling\u2019s expressive vocal style meet. In the Brass Palace is both a tribute to big band tradition and a fresh, modern reinterpretation\u2014an expansive, emotionally rich jazz program built on the dialogue between voice and orchestra.<\/p>\n<p>In the Brass Palace is one of the most ambitious projects of Elling\u2019s career: a bold meeting of voice and orchestra, tradition and innovation, craftsmanship and imagination. Grand-scale, expressive jazz\u2014created for attentive listening and deep emotion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA big band album has been on my list since my very first record. I wanted this music to celebrate what people love about big bands\u2014the power, the swing, the elegance\u2014while also challenging expectations. \u2018My Very Own Ride\u2019 perfectly captures that balance.\u201d (Kurt Elling)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1352,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"tags":[],"mec_category":[13],"class_list":{"0":"post-1336","1":"mec-events","2":"type-mec-events","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"mec_category-concert"},"yoast_head":"<title>KURT ELLING Concert -
