New Orleans’s Preservation Hall was established in 1961 to honor one of America’s truest art forms: traditional New Orleans jazz. Operating as a music venue, a touring band, and a nonprofit organization, Preservation Hall continues its mission today as a cornerstone of New Orleans music and culture. During this private concert, listen to music associated with New Orleans, learn about the venue's connection with the civil rights movement, and engage directly with musicians in a Q&A session.
