Music enthusiasts and movie buffs, get ready to be transported to an island of prehistoric wonder without leaving the enchanting Treme neighborhood of New Orleans. As the marketing director of the New Orleans Guest House, I, Karen Brem, am thrilled to share the news of an upcoming event that combines the majesty of film with the splendor of live orchestra. On Sunday, November 19, 2023, the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra (LPO) will present a unique auditory experience – “Jurassic Park in Concert” – at the Mahalia Jackson Theater at 1419 Basin St.
The LPO is not just an orchestra; it’s the heartbeat of Louisiana’s music scene. As the oldest musician-governed and operated orchestra in the United States, the LPO brings together the talents of musicians from around the globe to create experiences that transcend notes on a page. Their commitment to musical excellence and community engagement has made them a pillar in the New Orleans arts community, and their performances are a testament to their passion.
Now, let’s talk “Jurassic Park.” John Williams’ iconic score is as legendary as the dinosaurs it accompanies. It’s a masterpiece that has thrilled millions, capturing the awe and excitement of Steven Spielberg’s cinematic achievement. The score’s grandeur will be unleashed as the LPO performs it live, synchronizing the unforgettable music with the film projected in high definition. It’s a chance to experience the thrill of the chase, the wonder of the first glimpse of Brachiosaurus, and the resonating sounds of the T-Rex roar, all through the power of live symphony.
For those who haven’t had the pleasure of attending a film concert, it’s a multi-sensory event where you live the film in a completely new way. It’s perfect for fans of the movie and music lovers alike. Every swell of music, every delicate motif provides an emotional depth that can only be appreciated when witnessed live.
The New Orleans Guest House is proud to be just a short, scenic walk from this spectacular event. Our commitment to providing clean, affordable lodging and a warm, welcoming staff ensures that your stay will be as comfortable as it is memorable. Nestled in the famous Treme neighborhood, our hotel is not just a place to stay; it’s a doorway to the rich culture and vibrant music scene of New Orleans.
Before the concert, why not take a leisurely stroll through the beautiful and historic Louis Armstrong Park? Immerse yourself in the tranquility of the lagoons or take a moment to admire the statues of jazz legends. Let the park set a serene stage for the musical journey you’re about to embark on.
Our hotel is more than just a convenient location; it’s part of the fabric of New Orleans. We embrace the spirit of our city and invite our guests to do the same.
