Aurora Nealand is a sound artist and multi-instrumentalist (saxophones, accordion, voice) based in New Orleans, Louisiana. An established bandleader, composer, performer and improviser, and a former Walden faculty member, Nealand has become a prominent force in the New Orleans music scene since she first arrived in 2004. Combining “formal education”—a music composition degree from Oberlin Conservatory and training at the Jacques Lecoq School of Physical Theatre in Paris—with the “informal” experience of playing music in the streets and clubs of New Orleans and throughout the northern Hemisphere, Nealand has emerged as an innovative, sensitive, and daring music creator and performer. She is most recognized for her performance on saxophones, clarinet, and vocals and has been at the forefront of the revival of New Orleans traditional jazz amongst the younger generation of the city’s musicians.

Join us for an inspiring outdoor concert on the lawn with Aurora and friends! This concert is co-presented with the Monadnock Folklore Society.
