Musical Legacy Meets Modern Excellence
The New Orleans Jazz Museum and NOCCA Foundation are joining forces to present the new NOCCA Foundation Concert Series, celebrating the artistic excellence of NOCCA's community.
Sponsored by The Gia Maione Prima Foundation, this free concert series kicked off on Thursday, April 3, featuring two-time GRAMMY-nominated artist Gladney at the Jazz Museum's Performance Center on 400 Esplanade Ave.
"From Ellis Marsalis to Jon Batiste, NOCCA faculty and alumni have played a huge role in New Orleans' constantly evolving jazz scene," Director of the New Orleans Jazz Museum Greg Lambousy said. "We are thrilled to add so many NOCCA musicians to our concert season, alongside current NOCCA students."
Trustee to the Gia Maione Prima Foundation Anthony J. Sylvester said, "We are honored to partner with NOCCA and the New Orleans Jazz Museum to sponsor the free concert series. The pilot program is a wonderful opportunity to raise awareness of NOCCA Foundation and NOCCA programs while supporting current and alumni of NOCCA."
