Music at the Mint
These days, we’re making music rather than money at the Old U.S. Mint. See instruments New Orleans’ greatest musicians played to create their landmark sounds—Louis Armstrong’s cornet, Fats Domino’s piano, Sidney Bechet’s soprano sax and more are all on display.
Day or night, you can hear great music by renowned contemporary musicians, such as Jimmy Robinson, the Iguanas, Evan Christopher, Davell Crawford, Donald Harrison, Lynn Drury and many more in the Old U.S. Mint Performing Arts Center. Music at the Mint provides programs, services and resources for music aficionados, musicologists, musicians and anyone who simply loves great music.
Though its state-of-the-art concert space provides pristine sound, the Old U.S. Mint is more than an entertainment venue. It’s also a place for musical documentation, with ongoing digitization efforts underway to safeguard historical recordings. It preserves the tangible hallmarks of music such as posters, paintings, sheet music and memorabilia. Performing musicians also give on-site interviews, adding modern voices to the historical archives.
The Old U.S. Mint is already an established center for live music and music history, and soon it will house the Louisiana Music Museum, a new space devoted to exploring Louisiana’s rich musical heritage.
