For their annual benefit concert for COATS FOR KIDS, the Faubourg Quartet presents a collection of its members’ most beloved favorites, a fun and eclectic mix of varied genres, including tango, blues, jazz, as well as some of the most beautiful works of Piazzolla, Beethoven, Ravel, Schostakovich and Colombier. And as a special treat, you will not want to miss members of New Orleans famous Marsalis Family and the Chair of the NOCCA Music Department Michael Pellera performing. This year, Delfeayo Marsalis joins the Faubourg Quartet in their traditional finale, Louis Armstrong’s “What A Wonderful World.”
Starting at 6:15 PM, audience members will be welcomed outside the St. Louis Cathedral by performing students from the Classical Instrumental Department of the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts (NOCCA). Show support for New Orleans youth by coming early to hear this talented group perform!
Admission is free. But please consider bringing one clean coat (any size accepted) to benefit COATS FOR KIDS. Monetary donations are also welcome and much appreciated.
The Faubourg Quartet would like to thank St. Louis Cathedral for their generous support in hosting this event as well as event sponsors Lafargue Piano and Santa Fe Restaurant.
