On Friday, November 11th at 8pm in Hill Auditorium, prepare to be blown away by the rhythm and jazz of “A Night in Treme: The Musical Majesty of New Orleans.” As part of the student package of Arts and Eats performances, for $15 you can experience the performance with pizza and a pre-show, guest speaker. The UMS website says, “The Treme (pronounced truh-MAY) neighborhood of New Orleans has been a source of African-American music and culture.” My only reference to fall upon for New Orleans music is from the Disney-fied version in The Princess and the Frog. As fantastic as that is, I am looking forward to hearing something a little more authentic and true to New Orleans culture and the rich, vibrant music that is created there. It should be a magical evening with Donald Harrison, Jr., Christian Scott, Glen David Andrews, and Dr. Michael White alongside the Rebirth Brass Band (UMS). Buy your tickets soon! Hope to see you there!
