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.

The winner of the 2019 American Pianists Awards and a finalist in the 2011 Thelonious Monk International Piano Competition, Cohen’s performances regularly grace esteemed venues like Jazz at Lincoln Center, the Village Vanguard, and Birdland. With a global reach that spans over 30 countries, Cohen’s entrepreneurial spirit also led to the creation of “Live From Emmet’s Place,” a live-streamed “rent party” that unites a worldwide audience through tens of millions of internet views.

Adding to the allure of this special concert, the performance will feature the incomparable Houston Person, a living legend in the jazz world. Renowned for his saxophone sounds, Person’s collaboration with the Emmet Cohen Trio promises an afternoon filled with improvisational brilliance.
