Events at the Cultural Section

The Marlon Jordan Quartet

To say "Thank You" to Romanians for their support for the victims of Hurricane Katrina, the Marlon Jordan Quartet of New Orleans, in cooperation with the American Cultural Center of the U.S. Embassy, gave two concerts on November 4 and 5. In Bucharest, after attending a reception at the Cultural Center, where the group met with leading political and cultural personalities, the Marlon Jordan Quartet, featuring vocalist Stephanie Jordan, performed at the Event Club, a leading jazz venue. In Ploiesti, the ensemble performed at the city’s Philharmonic Hall before an audience of 300 jazz fans.

During this tour, the Marlon Jordan Quartet will also perform in Germany, Lithuania, and Ukraine to say thanks for the support from those countries. The quartet’s performances in Romania are part of the “New Orleans Jazz Heritage Tours” sponsored by the U.S. State Department and Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York. The project gives musicians from the New Orleans area who have lost their usual venues an opportunity to share the music that so vividly expresses the region’s melting of cultures.

The Quartet’s Bucharest performance will be broadcast soon on Radio Romania, while the Ploiesti concert will be shown in the near future on Senso TV.
