Join us on June 6 as The Ne Plus Ultra Jass Orchestra brings the music of trailblazing LGBTQ+ composers and lyricists to life in a joyful evening of dancing and celebration. In honor of Pride Month, we’re spotlighting the queer artists whose genius helped shape the sound of the Jazz Age and beyond—from the sparkling wit of Cole Porter and Noël Coward, to the lush romanticism of Ivor Novello, the soulful brilliance of Billy Strayhorn, the glittering spectacle of Liberace, and the poignant poetry of Lorenz Hart. Though many of these artists had to navigate fame in eras of silence and repression, their work endures—bold, beautiful, and unapologetically queer.

​

The Historic Music Preservation Project is thrilled to welcome internationally renowned Liberace tribute artist David Saffert as our special guest for the evening. Celebrated for his dazzling performances and masterful interpretation of Liberace’s signature style, Saffert will bring the spirit of the legendary showman to life—complete with unforgettable music, glamour, and flair.
