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! 2022 Artists-in-Residence
Mathew Whitaker and Alain Lauture

The Louis Armstrong House Museum cordially invites you to our annual fundraiser. This year, we celebrate Louis Armstrong and his artistic legacy through a live performance: “Armstrong Now at Dizzy’s.” One of this generation’s brightest stars in Jazz, Matthew Whitaker is bringing his piano trio to Dizzy’s along with dancer and choreographer Alain Hurrikane Lauture to premiere the work they have created as Artists in Residence of the museum.

The work will include reimagining well known Armstrong works, and original pieces that stand on the shoulders of Louis Armstrong’s legacy.

Thank you for supporting the museum!
