INSIDE KEN BURNS EVENTS Meet Ken Burns
The centerpiece of our two events is the special keynote address by award-winning filmmaker Ken Burns, which is followed by an opportunity to meet him afterwards at a reception. On The Civil War Event, you’ll hear Ken speak at the National Archives, a location pivotal to his research on The Civil War; chat with him afterwards over cocktails and hors d’oeuvres in the Archives. The Jazz Event features a keynote address by Ken Burns at the amazing New Orleans Center for Creative Arts; meet him afterwards at a cocktail reception that is paired with a taste of the flavors of New Orleans- style cuisine – which in turn is followed by a very special private concert featuring Ellis Marsalis.
