See preeminent jazz musician Wynton Marsalis with renowned classical pianist Cecile Licad for a unique live musical performance to accompany the presentation of LOUIS – A Silent Film. LOUIS was written and directed by Dan Pritzker and shot by Oscar®-winning cinematographer, the late Vilmos Zsigmond and pays homage to Louis Armstrong, Charlie Chaplin, and the birth of jazz. The film, set in 1907 New Orleans, tells the story of a young boy (Louis) born into poverty, who dreams of playing the trumpet. Marsalis was brought on board to oversee the music for the film and immediately became an integral part of Pritzker’s vision.
