SUMMARY:Sun Ra Arkestra Performs the Music of John Coltrane presented by Ars Nova Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Please join Ars Nova Workshop in celebrating the life and legacy of John Coltrane on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of his birth. A week of performances kicks off with the Sun Ra Arkestra performing bold new arrangements of the legendary saxophonist’s music at the Mandell Theater on Wednesday\, September 23. \nJohn Coltrane changed the course of music\, but his story is also deeply rooted in Philadelphia. In 2026\, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of his birth\, Ars Nova Workshop will present COLTRANE 100 — a citywide constellation of performances\, conversations\, exhibitions\, listening events\, community gatherings\, educational programs\, and neighborhood activations honoring Coltrane’s enduring legacy and Philadelphia’s central role in shaping it. Developed in collaboration with the John and Alice Coltrane estate\, artists\, scholars\, community leaders\, and cultural partners across the city\, the initiative will unfold across venues\, libraries\, public spaces\, and neighborhoods throughout Philadelphia. \nOn Coltrane’s 100th birthday\, September 23\, 2026\, Ars Nova will launch this celebration with a very special performance by an iconic Philadelphia-based ensemble. Formed in the mid-1950s by its cosmic-philosopher namesake and led for more than three decades by the 102-year-old Marshall Allen\, the Sun Ra Arkestra combines era-spanning jazz with dance\, theatrics and an interstellar vision that helped lay the foundation for the Afrofuturism movement. This unique concert will feature a tribute from one pioneer to another\, as Maestro Allen leads the ensemble in a career-spanning performance of Trane’s compositions\, expanded beyond the stars as only the Arkestra can.

In 2026\, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of his birth\, Ars Nova Workshop will present COLTRANE 100 — a citywide constellation of performances\, conversations\, exhibitions\, listening events\, community gatherings\, educational programs\, and neighborhood activations honoring Coltrane’s enduring legacy and Philadelphia’s central role in shaping it.

She serves as artistic director of the Berklee Institute of Jazz and Gender Justice\, as well for the Next Jazz Legacy apprenticeship program. For COLTRANE 100\, Carrington will lead a performance of the spiritual-questing suite that has become revered as John Coltrane’s most iconic work\, A Love Supreme. \nSharing the bill will be the multi-instrumentalist\, composer\, performer and curator L’Rain\, whose sonic explorations interrogate how multiplicities of emotion and experience intersect with identity. Her latest record\, fata morgana\, is a genre-defiant synthesis of dancehall\, tape meditations\, slow jams\, gospel\, and crunched metal influences\, and has received near-universal critical acclaim.

SUMMARY:Coltrane 100: John Coltrane – The Man & His Music presented by North Philadelphia History Festival: The John Coltrane Edition
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Scribe Video Center\, North Philadelphia History Festival (NPHF): The John Coltrane Edition is a multi-site celebration of Black and Puerto Rican cultural history in North Philadelphia. \nCurated by Leslie Willis-Lowry\, lead archivist at the Charles L.

The exhibit highlights his spiritual journey\, remarkable artistry\, and revolutionary career. \nOne of the most gifted jazz musicians of his generation\, Coltrane offered listeners an inspired form of playing and composing with few equals. His beautifully controlled ballads and avant-garde material created expressions of beauty\, emotion\, harmony\, dissonance\, and transcendence that had never been heard before. With profound depth\, his music remains emotionally charged and deeply satisfying. John Coltrane’s life was a testament to the pursuit of artistic excellence and an enduring legacy of spiritual jazz. \n

SUMMARY:Immanuel Wilkins Quartet // Divine Offering presented by Ars Nova Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Please join Ars Nova Workshop in celebrating the life and legacy of John Coltrane on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of his birth\, with acclaimed saxophonist Immanuel Wilkins and a celebration of the music of Alice Coltrane\, at the Mandell Theater on Saturday\, September 26\, 2026. \nJohn Coltrane changed the course of music\, but his story is also deeply rooted in Philadelphia. In 2026\, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of his birth\, Ars Nova Workshop will present COLTRANE 100 — a citywide constellation of performances\, conversations\, exhibitions\, listening events\, community gatherings\, educational programs\, and neighborhood activations honoring Coltrane’s enduring legacy and Philadelphia’s central role in shaping it. Developed in collaboration with the John and Alice Coltrane estate\, artists\, scholars\, community leaders\, and cultural partners across the city\, the initiative will unfold across venues\, libraries\, public spaces\, and neighborhoods throughout Philadelphia. \nThis special double bill explores the wider universe of Coltrane’s legacy. Born in Philadelphia\, Immanuel Wilkins is a saxophonist\, composer\, and multidisciplinary artist working at the intersection of sound\, performance\, and visual composition. In addition to his musical practice\, Wilkins works with bronze sculptures\, large-scale megaphones\, public sculptural playgrounds\, and works on paper that examine the graphic score\, inspirations that echo Coltrane’s own voracious curiosities. Wilkins will be joined by a number of special guests to honor Trane’s centennial. In addition\, vocalist and composer Michelle Coltrane\, the daughter of John and Alice Coltrane\, will honor her mother’s devotional music with a program entitled Divine Offering: Celebrating the Legacy of Alice Turiyasangitananda with Sita Michelle Coltrane.

SUMMARY:Library Mixtape & Philadelphia Jazz Legacy Project present: John Coltrane at 100
DESCRIPTION:Library Mixtape is a club for folks to listen to and discuss vinyl records! Whether you are just starting to get into records or you’re an avid crate digger\, we welcome listeners of all b \nackgrounds. Library Mixtape meets last Wednesdays of the month from 5:30-7:30PM\, and there’s a different monthly theme. \nOur format is flexible: we have BYO vinyl\, guest co-host DJs\, librarian-led journeys through the library record collections\, and more! You are responsible for your own vinyl. Please sign up for our club email list to get meeting reminders\, information about music themes\, to sign up to bring an album using our sign up sheet\, or rescheduling/cancelation notices! \nListeners of all ages are invited to this session of club. A heads up that Coltrane struggled with substance dependencies\, and it may come up in conversation. Feel free to step out at any time if you need to! \nOur theme this month is John Coltrane at 100. John Coltrane would have turned 100 on September 23\, 2026. He passed away from liver cancer at only 41 years old on July 17\, 1967. In his too-short time earthside he was a pioneer in the free jazz movement\, and brought his deep spirituality to his later discography. \nJohn Coltrane used to visit Parkway Central Library and the Music Department in the late 1940s to early 1950s- he’d listen to Bartok and Stravinsky records at our listening stations. We recommend stopping by our Social Science and History Department before stopping by club- you can see a Stravinsky record we still have from that time period\, as well as other Coltrane materials on display! \nWe have a guest co-host this month: Suzanne Cloud (she/her) writer\, historian\, and jazz musician received her doctorate from the University of Pennsylvania in American Studies in 2004. Cloud has published six YA history books\, contributed to the African American National Biography Project at Harvard\, co-authored with Diane Turner the book Images of America: Philadelphia Jazz\, edited The Real Philadelphia Book\, and was the founding director of Jazz Bridge\, a nonprofit aiding musicians in crisis. Currently\, Cloud is director of the Philadelphia Jazz Legacy \nProject\, an organization dedicated to building a Philadelphia area archive of jazz. Her play Last Call at the Downbeat was part of the 2013 Philadelphia International Festival of the Arts. Cloud is a past Commonwealth Speaker for the Pennsylvania Humanities Council\, a recipient of the Rutgers University Chancellor’s Award for Civic Engagement in 2015 and was named a Jazz Hero by the Jazz Journalists Association in 2019. \nWe’re so excited to spin vinyl with you! \nQuestions?
