Sun Ra Arkestra

Description
Sun Ra Arkestra - the most-exciting jazz ensemble in the world return to Union Chapel in June 2026.
When Sun Ra passed away in 1993, the Arkestra did not fade into history. Saxophonist John Gilmore became the first to carry the mantle of leadership; while after his death, the torch was passed to Marshall Allen, who continues to steer the ensemble today — well beyond his 100th birthday. With the same spirit that defined its earliest years, the Arkestra still tours the globe: Seriousness and virtuosity exist side by side with humour; dance becomes ritual, and spirituality remains at the heart of it all.
