Thanks to the efforts of two award-winning musicians and the support of an internationally known maker of fine time-pieces, a symphony of support has been created for the musicians of New Orleans.
Shortly after witnessing the devastation caused in New Orleans by Hurricane Katrina, Harry Connick, Jr. and Branford Marsalis created an organization called the New Orleans Habitat Musicians’ Village.
A division of Habitat for Humanity, the Village is a charity focused on building housing for musicians who lost everything during Katrina. The idea was to keep music talent in New Orleans so that future generations could enjoy the same musical atmosphere that Connick and Marsalis experienced growing up.
Connick, who had just completed a successful four-month starring role in the Tony Award-winning revival show, “The Pajama Game,” added five final benefit shows to raise funds for Musicians’ Village.
To support the effort, Longines, which has counted Connick as its ambassador and “Icon of Elegance” since 2005, created a set of exclusive limited-edition timepieces for the final benefit shows.
