This week, he leads our Master Artists Series at Upturn Arts.

We have had the privilege of introducing the youth of New Orleans to Dr. Michael White numerous times over the last 10 years through various programs and summer camps. It is truly an honor to be able to connect the next generation of New Orleans with an educator, historian, and musician like Dr. Michael White. Check out his latest album release, Tricentennial Rag on Basin Street Records.
