A New Orleans Nutcracker Suite

Tchaikovsky strolls the streets of the French Quarter! Arranger Michael Kamuf reimagines the “Overture,” “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies,” and “Trepak” themes by using different New Orleans-based grooves, rich jazz harmony, and plenty of syncopation and rhythmic twists. Students will love playing these themes, and your audience will dance in the aisles! A New Orleans Nutcracker Suite is the perfect addition to your holiday program. Though written as a suite, each movement can stand alone. (6:00)
