Maestro Marshall Allen the avant-garde alto saxophonist, who is 99 years young (born May 25, 1924), joined the Arkestra in 1957. He has been directing the Arkestra since 1995. Marshall continues to compose and record with the Arkestra and performs live on stage with them when they play within driving distance of his home in Philadelphia. Due to an inner ear issue Marshall is not able to fly to shows with the Arkestra.
