We are excited to invite you to a special two-night musical event on December 20th and December 21st at the Contemporary Arts Center, with Grammy award-winning musician Louis Michot for Louis Michot: Rêve du Troubadour. Michot, known for his work with the Lost Bayou Ramblers, brings a fresh and powerful perspective to Louisiana French music. This event is a unique opportunity to experience the rich cultural heritage of Louisiana through the eyes and sounds of one of its most passionate and influential musicians.

Historically, New Orleans has been regarded as a city deeply rooted in its past. For The Future is Present, The Harbinger is Home, Co-Artistic Directors Miranda Lash and Ebony G. Patterson will posit New Orleans as a globally relevant point of departure for examining our collective future as it relates to climate change, legacies of colonialism, and definitions of belonging and home.
