Preservation Hall Jazz Band is now free for UCA Faculty/Staff

Submitted by: Wendy Sparks, wsparks2@uca.edu on 11/26/2024

Performing in Reynolds Performance Hall on December 14th at 7:00 pm.

Celebrate the holidays New Orleans-style when the world-famous Preservation Hall Jazz Band brings the sounds of “The Big Easy” to the stage. Creole Christmas features holiday favorites with a mix of blues, jazz, and ragtime including “Swinging in a Winter Wonderland,” “Bells Will Be Ringin’,” and more, along with some of their New Orleans classics from over 60 years of performing and traveling around the world.

The Preservation Hall Jazz Band derives its name from Preservation Hall, the vibrant music venue located in the heart of New Orleans’ French Quarter founded in 1961 by Allan and Sandra Jaffe. The hall was created to preserve the city’s rich culture of traditional jazz and give musicians a place to play. The hall quickly garnered significant media attention paving the way for the Preservation Hall Jazz Band to be created and start touring across the country igniting interest in New Orleans musical heritage.
