Jazz history comes to life in Corona

Louis Armstrong was one of the most recognizable entertainers in the world when he chose the working-class neighborhood of Corona, Queens to be his home in 1943. We preserve Louis and Lucille’s home, now a historic site and world-class museum. We also provide access to Mr. Armstrong’s extensive archives, develop programs for the public that educate and inspire and host performances with multi-disciplinary artists from around the world.

ARMSTRONG NOW CONCERT

GET TICKETS

Acclaimed saxophonist and composer Immanuel Wilkins presents the results of his residency, a deep and personal exploration of Louis Armstrong’s archival legacy.

“Archives are important,” Wilkins shared. “It’s a rare opportunity to comb through a jazz musician’s traces who was so aware of what he was leaving behind for many generations after him. Louis Armstrong is a figure who opened so many doors for American music, and through his creative output, he has created a map of sorts that I am so excited to respond to in my own creative way.”

Through this special performance, Wilkins will unveil a fresh artistic response to Armstrong’s enduring influence—interpreting his trumpet playing, visual art, voice recordings, and more. Join us for a unique convergence of past and present, where history meets innovation through Wilkins’ visionary artistry.
