SUMMARY:Coltrane at 100: A Guided Listening Experience presented by Fitler Club
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate Coltrane at 100 with an intimate guided listening experience exploring the music and legacy of John & Alice Coltrane. \n\n\n\n\nColtrane at 100: A Guided Listening Experience with Anyabwile Love & Marcus Moore\nAs Philadelphia commemorates John Coltrane’s centennial\, this special guided listening — led by Philadelphia native Anyabwile Love\, founder of the John Coltrane Symposium\, and acclaimed author\, curator and music journalist Marcus J. Moore — offers an intimate journey through the music of John and Alice Coltrane. Rather than treating their work as static artifacts of jazz history\, Love and Moore will listen closely to songs from the Coltranes’ catalog\, tracing the spiritual\, philosophical and sonic ideas that connected two of the 20th century’s most important artists. Through selected recordings\, conversation and reflection\, the program will explore how John and Alice used music as a vehicle for transcendence\, inquiry and liberation. \nTogether\, Love and Moore bring complementary perspectives to the experience. Love\, a writer\, filmmaker and professor of History and Black Studies at Community College of Philadelphia\, has spent years examining Coltrane’s legacy through the John Coltrane Symposium and his scholarship on Black culture. Moore\, whose work spans The New York Times\, NPR\, The Washington Post\, The Atlantic and beyond\, has built a career around intentional listening and creating spaces where music can be encountered with patience\, context and feeling. This listening event will invite audiences to hear the Coltranes’ music deeply\, while considering how their work continues to speak to the present.

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.

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. Blockson Afro-American Collection\, the Coltrane 100 exhibition resonates in John Coltrane’s own spiritual voice. 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
