Duke Family Performance Hall
After having to postpone our concert with Aubrey Logan, the Jazz Ensemble is excited and grateful to welcome back trombonist Delfeayo Marsalis, the unofficial Dean of contemporary New Orleans jazz. One of the four Marsalis brothers who are at the forefront of jazz performance, Delfeayo has chosen to remain in New Orleans to maintain and enliven the birthplace of jazz. He founded and leads the internationally acclaimed Uptown Jazz Orchestra and is active as a small-group musician and educator. Our concert will focus upon his original, blues-infused compositions, mixed in with several familiar standards.

Secret Society of Crafters – Hearts on Fiber
Feb 13 @ 10:00 a.m.
208 South Main Street
Crafting is more fun with other people, which is why we created the “Secret” Society of Crafters. The title says “secret,” but we’re a not-so-secret, not-so-exclusive group who meets to stitch, craft, crochet, knit, sit and talk. We may or may not talk about knitting, yarn bombing, hand dying, or the latest stitch. We may even talk about world domination. You won’t know unless you come. Connect with crafters in the area, find the motivation to pick up that project again, and benefit from the wisdom of a passionate crafting group. The “Secret” Society of Crafters meets outside the store every Wednesday and Sunday at 10:00 AM weather permitting. We hope to see you there!
