Jazz history comes to life in Corona

Louis Armstrong was one of the most recognizable entertainers in the world when he chose the working-class neighborhood of Corona, Queens to be his home in 1943. We preserve Louis and Lucille’s home, now a historic site and world-class museum. We also provide access to Mr. Armstrong’s extensive archives, develop programs for the public that educate and inspire and host performances with multi-disciplinary artists from around the world.

ARMSTRONG NOW SIGNATURE

Tickets here! Experience the rhythms of Nduduzo Makhathini in a LAHM concert on January 13th at 3:00 pm in the Louis Armstrong Center’s Jazz room. Grab your tickets now for an unforgettable musical journey!

Hailing from the lush landscapes of umGungundlovu in South Africa, Nduduzo Makhathini’s music is deeply rooted in the symbiotic connection between music and ritual practices. Influenced by legends such as Bheki Mseleku and Moses Molelekwa, Makhathini’s unique blend of South African jazz captures the emotions and nuances of the past.

An accomplished pianist, Makhathini draws inspiration from the classics, including John Coltrane’s quartet and the American jazz greats Andrew Hill, Randy Weston, and Don Pullen. As an educator and researcher, he heads the music department at Fort Hare University and has graced prestigious stages worldwide. Tickets here!
