Oscar nominee, five-time Grammy-winner and 2018 USA Fellow trumpeter / composer Terence Blanchard has been a consistent artistic force for making powerful musical statements concerning painful American tragedies – past and present. From his expansive work composing the scores for Spike Lee films, Blanchard has interwoven melodies that created strong backdrops to human stories.  During 2021 he made history by becoming the Black composer to be presented by the Metropolitan Opera for his opera Fire Shut Up In My Bones. In SLO, Blanchard will unite his internationally acclaimed band The E-Collective with the double-Grammy-winning Turtle Island Quartet for an unforgettable night of music in his homage to jazz icon Wayne Shorter.
