Pops is Tops!

Our longest standing program, now in its 37th year, the Pops is Tops series of children’s concerts brings students in grades K – 6 to experience live jazz in the beautiful, Japanese inspired garden of the Louis Armstrong House Museum. Pops is Tops presents a world-class jazz artist each year; past artists have included Jon Faddis, Roy Hargrove, Ray Vega and Alphonso Horne. The program brings these artists who sell out jazz festivals world-wide and win Grammy awards, to Corona, Queens, Louis Armstrong’s neighborhood, to play for local kids.
