Join us for the opening of The District: Music and Musicians in Storyville on November 13 at 6:00 PM at the New Orleans Jazz Museum. This exhibition examines Storyville as a central site of musical innovation and cultural exchange, with specific focus on Black Storyville, where Black musicians, culture bearers, and community networks shaped the earliest forms of jazz. Through photographs, artifacts, recordings, and personal histories, the exhibition highlights both the creative brilliance and the complex social realities that defined the district. This opening event provides a cultural and historical foundation for this year’s Improvisations Gala theme, Storyville: Sounds of the Rising Sun. Tickets are on sale now at ImprovGala2025.eventbrite.com and our online auction is open, 32auctions.com/ImprovGala2025.
