“Chanteuse” concert series will feature female vocalists at the Jazz and Heritage Center
The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation will present “Chanteuse: Celebrating New Orleans Women in Music.” This six-week concert series on Saturday nights will showcase local talents and concludes with a concert by NEA Jazz Master Dee Dee Bridgewater, a triple Grammy-winning and Tony award-winning vocalist who serves as UN ambassador. “Chanteuse” is part of an ongoing effort by the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation to address inequities in the music industry.
The concerts will take place outdoors at the George and Joyce Wein Jazz & Heritage Center, located at 1225 N. Rampart Street. Doors will open at 6 p.m. prior to the start of the performance at 7 p.m. Admission is free to all six concerts, but attendees must RSVP at jazzandheritage.org to reserve tickets. Safety protocols, including face mask requirements, are also available at the website.
