Celebrations and Lamentations: A New Orleans Portrait invites audiences on a stirring journey through the streets of America’s most musical city. Blending the energy of street performance with the grandeur of concert presentation, Celebrations and Lamentations offers a portrait of New Orleans where every note is a heartbeat, every rhythm a step along Bourbon Street, and every melody a testament to the power of music to celebrate, to mourn, and ultimately, to transcend.
