Programming has evolved in the last several years to focus on the seven families who lived on the property, as well as influences of the French Quarter neighborhood. A new interpretative program is underway to better reflect the heritage of the site. Membership, events, grants, donations, and fundraising activities generate revenue needed for on-going restoration and future capital improvement projects.About Phillip Manuel: Described as a “local treasure” by WWL-TV’s Eric Paulsen, Manuel has graced the world’s stages from New York to Los Angeles; from Portugal to Paris with some of the biggest stars in jazz. His voice has been described as dramatic, warm, and full of soul. One critic said his voice charms and seduces, and his range sounds effortless. To say that Phillip Manuel’s talents are diverse is to state the obvious. While his musical abilities are obvious, Phillip is also an accomplished actor, writer and sought after voice over talent.Looking back, the award-winning vocalists, producer, recording-artist says he feels fortunate not having to make the decision about what his career path would be. "I was born a singer," says Phillip. "And I come from a long line of them, my father being the most gifted of them all.” While Phill says his ultimate role model as a singer is his father who gave him a daily example of how powerful and compelling singing could be. "We sang at home, at the neighborhood store--I'd sing for my dad's friends, whenever. We were always singing. After his father, Aaron Neville was Manuel’s first mentor and his career led him to working with luminaries Allen Toussaint, Fats Domino, Dr. John, Patti Labelle and the Meters, as well as Terrence Blanchard, Nicholas Payton, Ellis Marsalis, Jon Hendricks and a host of other jazz greats.to Me" album, and other crowd favorites! Light refreshments will be available with doors opening at 5:30pm and the event beginning at 6:00pm. This is a Bring Your Own Beverage event. We recommend that guests bring along extra cups with beverages of choice! Not a museum member?
