Spring brings performances of live chamber music hosted in historic homes, museums, jazz halls, and community spaces around New Orleans. Named for the branching footprint of the Mississippi River delta, Birdfoot continues to attract an enthusiastic local following that flocks to hear what Times-Picayune music critic Chris Waddington called a "string of glorious, unbuttoned performances of works rarely heard on local stages." Many events are free. Hours vary. Admission varies. Ferocious, youthful talent and an informal approach that encourages interaction between performers and audience members is the constant. birdfootfestival.org.
