To celebrate music being such an integral part of New Orleans history and culture, The Historic New Orleans Collection's 2023 Antiques Forum will focus on the objects from throughout time that best illustrate Louisiana's musical legacy. Titled "Music to My Eyes: Material Culture of Southern Sound," this year's forum will showcase items like early glass jazz records, antique Mardi Gras ball dance cards, and even Sidney Bechet's clarinet. Speakers range from American Routes radio host and folklorist Nick Spitzer to Cajun accordionist André Michot, with plenty of musicologists, authors, and other scholars in between. Besides talks and panels with these experts, other activities like a champagne reception and celebratory brunch will round out the weekend.
This year, THNOC is offering individual day tickets ($150 for Friday or Saturday, $50 for Sunday), as well as a Young Professionals rate of half-priced single-day tickets. Tickets for the full Forum are $300. Find the full schedule of lectures, brunches, cocktail parties, and more at hnoc.org.
