At the heart of the 2025 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, amid the vibrant music, joyful crowds, and unmistakable scent of crawfish and beignets, you’ll find a place where spirit and song unite: the Gospel Tent.
As proud sponsors, we believe our role at Jazz Fest goes far beyond financial support. For the past three years, we’ve provided two free tickets to every member of the local gospel choirs performing in the Gospel Tent. We hope that this allows friends, family, and fellow congregants to be there to share in the moment. Because when someone raises their voice in faith and celebration, the people who helped shape that journey deserve to witness it.
To date, we’ve distributed over 3,000 tickets as part of this initiative. This year, we were honored to support performances by:
- Morning Star Missionary Baptist Church Choir
- Watson Memorial Teaching Ministries Choir
- New Orleans Gospel Soul Children
- Pastor Tyrone Jefferson of Abundant Life Tabernacle
- St. Joseph the Worker Music Ministry
- Shades of Praise New Orleans Interracial Gospel Choir
- The City of Love Music & Worship Arts Choir
- Mount Hermon Baptist Church Praise Delegation
- Voices of Peter Claver
- Jermaine Landrum & Abundant Praise
- Connie & Dwight Fitch with St. Raymond & St. Leo Choir
- Tyronne Foster & the Arc Singers
Each performance in the Gospel Tent is a reminder of the deep roots that gospel music has in New Orleans culture. With voices raised in harmony, hands clapping, and spirits soaring, the tent offers a powerful and moving experience that resonates long after the final note.
Morris Bart and Kids in the Gospel Tent
Morris Bart, who has long attended Jazz Fest himself, holds a special place in his heart for the Gospel Tent. To him, supporting these choirs and keeping local culture at the forefront of Jazz Fest is something he, and many at the Morris Bart Personal Injury Lawyers firm care about.
To that end, sponsoring the Gospel Tent is more than a community investment—it’s a reflection of our commitment to uplifting and preserving the rich cultural traditions that define New Orleans. We’re honored to stand with the voices that make this city and this festival so unique.
We look forward to seeing you next year in the Gospel Tent!
