UNIVERSAL ORLANDO HONORS "BIG EASY'S" MUSICAL CONTRIBUTION TO THE NATION: "CELEBRATE THE MUSIC OF NEW ORLEANS" KICKS OFF MARDI GRAS 2006
Special Program Aids Musicians Devastated by Hurricane Katrina
Orlando, Fla. -- Universal Orlando is unveiling an innovative program designed to evoke "New Orleans' special musical heritage" and to help the city's musicians who are struggling in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Throughout Universal's month-long Mardi Gras celebration, performers from the "Big Easy" will get the chance to do what they do best -- entertain audiences with their soulful style of music.
Known as "Celebrate The Music of New Orleans," the program gives the city's celebrated performers -- musicians whose music has been an intrinsic part of New Orleans' culture -- the opportunity to share their musical passion and enormous talent with audiences during Universal's Mardi Gras celebration. Many of these musicians lost homes, performance gigs, and even their lifelines -- their musical instruments -- in Hurricane Katrina. This program is designed to give musicians the chance to get back on their feet as the city recovers from the hurricane.
