After earning a music composition degree from Oberlin Conservatory and training at the Jacques Lecoq School of Physical Theatre in Paris, Aurora Nealand ’01, a saxophonist, clarinetist and singer who grew up in California, set out to bicycle across the country. She stopped, and stayed, in New Orleans in 2005. Enamored of traditional jazz from a young age, she apprenticed with several bands from the city’s Frenchmen Street-centered traditional jazz revival, including the Panorama Jazz Band, VaVaVoom and the New Orleans Moonshiners.

Do you have anyone in particular you would like to thank?

My mom, dad, and sister. They’re always so supportive of me and let me move at my own pace (which is generally a more relaxed pace). They’ve always trusted that I know what’s best for myself as a singer and as a young adult and are always willing to stand by my side for what I think is best for me… even if, for now, it’s taking a break from education to raise lions.
