DESCRIPTION:Sep 12\, 2026\nLet freedom ring! It was no reflection on the Na
 tional Symphony Orchestra—yet how it must have stung—when Philip Glass
  withdrew his Symphony No. 15\, a portrait of Abraham Lincoln. Trump’s h
 ostile takeover\, Glass declared in January\, put the Kennedy Center’s v
 alues “in direct conflict” with the message of the symphony. Plan B to
 ok shape in no time. It was the Boston Symphony Orchestra\, historically n
 o champion of Glass\, that copped the honor and the prestige\, premiering 
 “Lincoln” on the opening weekend of its summer season in Tanglewood. W
 ill the National Symphony ever bounce back from what Trump hath wrought? H
 ere’s hoping. Just now\, the encouraging news is that it has stepped up 
 for Wynton Marsalis’s spanking-new Symphony No. 5. “Freedom\,” as th
 e work is called\, originally slated to make its debut in May with the Bal
 timore Symphony. But Marsalis blew his deadline\, and it’s Wolf Trap\, t
 he country’s only national park for the performing arts\, that is jumpin
 g into the breach\, joining forces with the Jazz Orchestra of Lincoln Cent
 er\, which Marsalis founded and has led for four decades. “Lincoln\,” 
 which the once prodigiously prolific Glass completed in 2023\, two years a
 fter his last previous composition\, may well be that American icon’s sw
 an song. With “Freedom\,” Marsalis wraps up his final season with Jazz
  at Lincoln Center\, marking a different sort of historic moment. Endings 
 and beginnings. They just keep coming.
