ABOUT SASHA MASAKOWSKI

Sasha Masakowski was born into a family of musicians in New Orleans and has been a leading voice in the city’s music scene since 2009, when she was awarded “Best Emerging Artist” by the Big Easy Association. She has performed at major music festivals across the United States and abroad and leads three bands of her own that range from traditional jazz (Sidewalk Strutters) to contemporary jazz and world music (Musical Playground) to experimental art-rock (Hildegard, Tra$h Magnolia). Vanity Fair magazine listed Masakowski as one of the top jazz musicians in the world, and the December 2015 edition of Downbeat Magazine named her one of the most innovative musicians coming out of New Orleans to date.

 ABOUT LEE FRIEDLANDER IN LOUISIANA

Join Russell Lord, Freeman Family Curator of Photographs, Prints, and Drawings, for a Gallery Talk about the exhibition Lee Friedlander in Louisiana. One of the most famous living American photographers, Lee Friedlander has been visiting Louisiana since 1957 to document New Orleans jazz and to make artful street photographs. This marks the first major exhibition in any institution to examine the full scope and influence of Friedlander’s work in the region on the history of photography.
