Field Trips

OUR GOAL IS TO MAKE YOUR FIELD TRIP SAFE, INFORMATIVE, AND MEMORABLE

 

Ranger Talks

Our Ranger Talk covers many topics surrounding jazz music. We cover the establishment and growth of the city of New Orleans. We talk about the many cultural aspects of New Orleans that allowed jazz music to develop. We examine the lasting influence these cultures and this music had on the world and modern New Orleanian culture. Ranger Talks take place most days at 11AM, please see our calendar.

Musical Programming

Our programs are not simply concerts. The New Orleans Jazz National Historical features worlld class musicians in an intimate setting. We encourage informal and informational programming. Our performers talk with the audience. They not only cover musical history, but also topics more personal. Musicians tell their stories, influences, and field questions.
