Event Series Preservation Hall Jazz Band

Preservation Hall Jazz Band

The Argyros

Preservation Hall Jazz Band’s mission is to preserve the extraordinary music that evolved in New Orleans around the turn of the century and to bring that music to contemporary audiences. Individually, these musicians represent the industry’s elite, and collectively, they keep alive the traditions of this uniquely American sound. Known for their high energy, crowd-pleasing performances, Preservation Hall Jazz Band has been described by music critics as “the best jazz band in the land.” The Argyros is thrilled to partner with our friends from “Pres Hall” for a unique three night musical journey, the likes of which you’d be hard pressed to find in New Orleans, New York, or anywhere else. The band will play three entirely different shows, and each night the Tierney Theater will be transformed to match the feel of that show’s musical mood. Night one will be a traditional seated concert, featuring many of the beloved Big Easy jazz standards that have made Preservation Hall and the “N’awlins Sound” famous around the world. On night two, the Tierney Theater will be converted into a cabaret-style jazz nightclub, and the song selection will match that more intimate setting.

Flavia Junquiera: The Absurd and the Grace

Gilman Contemporary

Brazilian artist Flávia Junquiera crafts poetic photographs that beautifully blend monumental architecture with the fleeting nature of childhood. Her meticulously staged, site-specific compositions are both whimsical and evocative. Picture grand theaters adorned with balloons, a solitary carousel horse amidst an ornate library, and bubbles drifting over Rio de Janeiro's Parque Lage. Infused with innocence and joy, Junquiera creates a fantastical universe that resonates with childhood memories. Each photograph not only captures an installation but also celebrates the lightness and brightness of the unexpected.

Artists’ Studio Tour of the Wood River Valley

Various Locations

Artists from all over the Wood River Valley will open their studios on August 23 and 24. This tour is free and open to everyone. The pace will be leisurely, with time for visitors to discuss techniques and inspiration with the artists themselves and perhaps choose a special piece with a meaningful story behind it. The tour is also a great time to introduce the younger generation to the world of the professional artist. A map will be published in The Idaho Mountain Express before the event and the flyers with the map will also be posted around the valley. All pertinent contact information will be included for each of the forty artists. Please email Lisa@lisaholley.com for further information about this special event In these days of molasses-speed supply chains and slowed down shipping, it makes even more sense to shop locally from artists who have stock on hand ready to hand over to you! Please join us in 2024 for this intimate view into the heart of Wood River Valley art.
