Orchestra Hall is soon to undergo a transformation, and to celebrate before temporarily closing the doors for renovations, we’re throwing a festive traditional New Orleans funeral, replete with singing, dancing and a second-line march. Leading this final Pops concert of the season—and the subsequent procession out the doors will be two dear guests: Preservation Hall Jazz Band and New Orleans Jazz Orchestra with our own Artistic Director of Jazz, Irvin Mayfield. Get on your feet and follow the bands into the street for a rousing send-off!

Please note: the Minnesota Orchestra does not perform on this program.

Concert Activities

Stop by a photo booth in the lobby, smile and go down in the photographic history of Orchestra Hall. We'll be posting photos from our season finale events online—be sure to visit our website in the weeks following this concert.
