SUMMARY:Concert Series: Lost Bayou Ramblers
DESCRIPTION:The two-time Grammy award winning Lost Bayou Ramblers’ evolution as a progressive Louisiana French band rooted in Cajun traditions continues to excite\, challenge\, and redefine both genre expectations as well as cultural preconceptions. \nFounded in 1999 by brothers Andre and Louis Michot\, the years have brought LBR a feature on Jack White’s American Epic\, contributions to the Oscar nominated film Beasts of the Southern Wild\, and Grammy wins for Live: Orpheum Theater NOLA (their 2023 album with the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra) and their 2017 studio album Kalenda. \nLost Bayou Ramblers stands at the crosscurrents of Louisiana culture by inhabiting the gray area between Cajun and Creole\, convention and innovation\, mystery and a revelation\, experimenting and growing the show to what it’s become today: an eclectic mix of modern sounds and rhythms with ancient Cajun melodies and lyrics. \n\nThe 2025-2026 Concert Series is supported in part by John H. Dean DDS and Mary Ann Coleman\, Mimi San Pedro\, Olivia Farrell\, and Susan Conley. \nPhoto by Zach Smith.

SUMMARY:Concert Series: African Rhythms Alumni Quintet
DESCRIPTION:On the cusp of the late NEA Jazz Master\, pianist\, and composer Dr. Randy Weston’s centennial birthday\, esteemed members of Weston’s “African Rhythms” jazz ensemble – including Weston’s musical director and arranger T.K. Blue – have rejoined forces to pay tribute to their exceptional leader. \nThe African Rhythms Alumni Quintet bears direct witness to Dr. Weston’s brilliant integration of African aesthetics with the spirit of jazz that was cultivated by piano legendries like Duke Ellington\, Thelonius Monk\, Count Basie\, Nat King Cole\, and Earl Hines. The sonic foundations of Weston’s trailblazing style include the dynamic drum polyrhythms of West Africa\, the use of jazzy horns and plucked guitars from Ghanaian highlife music\, and Ellington’s orchestral approach to the piano. \nBy bringing the unique “sound” of Weston’s compositions and arrangements to the stage\, the African Rhythms Alumni Quintet transmits what – in Weston’s view – must be heard as the very “spirit” of his person. This is made possible by the world-class musicianship of T.K. Blue (saxophone/flute/musical director)\, Chief Baba Neil Clarke (percussion)\, Alex Blake (bass)\, Ku-umba Frank Lacy (trombone)\, and Sharp Radway (piano).  \n\nThe 2025-2026 Concert Series is supported in part by John H. Dean DDS and Mary Ann Coleman\, Mimi San Pedro\, Olivia Farrell\, and Susan Conley.

SUMMARY:Concert Series: Kaia Kater
DESCRIPTION:Montreal-born Grenadian-Canadian Kaia Kater’s jazz-fueled voice and deft songcraft have garnered acclaim from NPR’s Tiny Desk\, The Guardian\, Rolling Stone\, and No Depression. Through her artful banjo playing and lush songwriting\, Kaia draws on influences rooted in Quebec\, the Caribbean\, and Appalachia\, all of which reflect the diversity of her background. \nHer new album\, Strange Medicine (May 2024)\, celebrates the power of women and oppressed people\, while also sharing meditations on her own life. Kaia is equally recognized for her film work\, winning a Canadian Screen Award for The Porter (CBC/BET+)\, and contributing to the new film\, My Dead Friend Zoe (March 2024) as a songwriter and singer. \nAMFA Members and Season Ticket Holders enjoy access to an exclusive lounge with complimentary drinks from 6:15–7:15 p.m. in the Terri and Chuck Erwin Collections Research Center. \n\nThe 2025-2026 Concert Series is supported in part by John H.
