Join the Northwest Indiana Symphony Orchestra and Music Director/Conductor Kirk Muspratt as they start the 77th season with “Dukes of Dixieland,” Saturday, September 15, 2018 at 7:30 pm at Monbeck Auditorium at Highland High School featuring the Dukes of Dixieland.

The Dukes of Dixieland is a Dixieland-style revival band that plays New Orleans music, from Dr. John and Fats Domino, to Huey Smith and Louis Prima. Re-formed in 1974, the Dukes first performed in the French Quarter before moving to their own hall on Bourbon Street.

Today their home base is the Steamboat Natchez. Prepare to party like it’s Mardi Gras!­

“I worked with these guys in St. Louis and in Utah and they are super fun and energetic,” Maestro Muspratt said. “By the end of the concert people were dancing in the aisles!”

Monbeck Auditorium at Highland High School is the new home of the Symphony’s Pops Concerts. The hall is large and comfortable, but offers wonderful sight-lines and acoustics as well as easy and free parking.

Tickets for the concert range from $33 -$73 each, concert season subscriptions are still available, and GROUP SALES ARE AVAILABLE AT A DISCOUNT.
