This concert is currently only available with a Family Series or Create Your Own package. Single tickets on sale later this summer.

Bright trumpet sounds, spirited rhythms, and classic melodies take us back to the heart of American music — the beginning of the blues.

During the season of Mardi Gras, this family-friendly matinee tours the Jazz Age of New Orleans. Songs made famous by icons like Louis Armstrong, Ma Rainey, Bessie Smith, and Muddy Waters bring timeless joy to young audiences.
