PHILADELPHIA — July 25, 2024 — Grammy-winning trumpeter Chris Botti is bringing his signature blend of jazz and pop to Rivers Casino Philadelphia for a one-night-only concert.

In addition to winning the 2013 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Instrumental Album for “Impressions,” Botti has earned multiple RIAA Gold- and Platinum-certified records.

In October 2023, Botti released his Blue Note Records debut, “Vol. 1,” featuring his takes on such staples as “My Funny Valentine,” “Bewitched” and “Someday My Prince Will Come.” Botti also dazzles with Coldplay's “Fix You.” His ability to bridge the gap between jazz and popular music is incomparable.
