When Sammy Miller and The Congregation take the stage, class is in session. The coolest professor you’ve ever had, Grammy-nominated drummer Sammy Miller leads The Congregation in joyful jazz that just makes you feel good.  

While they’ve worked with heavyweights such as Wynton Marsalis and Beyoncé, the flock opts to stick together and bring art back to the people. Conservatory-trained yet full of childlike wonder, they reach the next generation everywhere from Lincoln Center to The White House to neighborhood schools, including their unforgettable Alaska tour in 2019. Now they’ll take you on a musical odyssey with "100 Years of Jazz,” from its soulful New Orleans beginnings to the dazzling Roaring Twenties.  

Get onboard this vibrant celebration of music for the people.
