Latin Jazz Concert with Patrice Fisher
Special Guest Omar Ramirez
Saturday, June 28
2:00pm - 3:00pm
Get ready for a performance that is rich with universal appeal and strong rhythms.
This music will embrace you softly but rhythmically, and the fusion of sounds will bring you to a calm state of mind. “An unexpected delight!” raves David Fricke of Rolling Stone Magazine. Don’t miss this performance with New Orleans Latin Jazz harpist and composer Patrice Fisher, her Latin Jazz music group, Arpa, and special guest Omar Ramirez, Puerto Rican trumpet player and composer.
Patrice Fisher is a graduate of Tulane University, Wolf Trap Academy for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., and the Creative Music Studio Jazz School in New York. She lives in New Orleans and has performed and recorded her own compositions since 1980. She has 16 albums of original music and has performed at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival for more than 30 years. Patrice and Arpa have performed at international jazz festivals in Germany, Brazil, Mexico, and Guatemala.
This project is partially supported by grants from the City of New Orleans, Arts Council of New Orleans, New Orleans Tourism and Cultural Fund, New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Foundation, Major’s Office of Cultural Economy in partnership with National Endowment for the Arts and Louisiana Division of the Arts. It is produced by Musicians for Music.
