Music Pictures: New Orleans gives us legacy portraits and rare backstage access into the lives and craft of four New Orleans music legends: Irma Thomas, Little Freddie King, Ellis Marsalis, and The Tremé Brass Band.  

Now in their 80s, these local masters continue their practice, for the love of the music, in the city that made them who they are. This musical documentary follows these four artists one by one as they rehearse, perform, and talk about their lives as it celebrates 100 years of New Orleans musical history with rare historical footage and testimonies. 

Complementary dessert reception included with double feature ticket.
