Tim Cook yesterday delivered a commencement address at Tulane University, and he followed up that speech by making an appearance at the Ellis Marsalis Music Center in New Orleans. Cook spent nearly two hours at the center, announcing that Apple is donating equipment for music production.

According to The New Orleans Advocate, Cook spent two hours at the Ellis Marsalis Center for Music, including meeting with Ellis Marsalis and Harry Connick Jr., two of the center's founders. He also mingled with students and faculty at the center.

Cook announced during his visit to the Ellis Marsalis Music Center that Apple has partnered with it to donate Apple products that can be used to produce music, as well as to provide software training for music production. Some of the Apple products are already in use by students at the Ellis Marsalis Music Center.

Speaking on the center’s relationship with Apple, Harry Connick Jr. said that having Cook visits the EMMC is “really monumental.”

During his commencement address at Tulane, Cook told the story of how he left Compaq for Apple and spoke on important social issues such as climate change.
