From New Orleans Sacred Music Festival Website:

5th Annual New Orleans Sacred Music Festival
March 12, 2016. 10am - 10pm
Admission is free, all are welcome.

The New Orleans Sacred Music Festival is one of our citys most unique and inspiring all volunteerproduced festivals. The festival brings performers from New Orleans diverse faith and cultural communities to share music, chants, prayers, crafts, food, brief ceremonies and conversations with the public about the transformative power of music. At a time when there is still much division, conflict, and misunderstanding in the world among people of different faiths, The Sacred Music Festival is a vitally important summit where people of diverse cultures and traditions can come together and share their voices through the universal and unifying power of music. Some performances are traditional, others innovative. Melodic, inspirational and uplifting, yet serious and profoundly personal, all sacred music carries similar themes of hope, no matter what language is spoken. Ancient and cutting edge at the same time, fun and lively, and full of magical moments - where else are you going to see Tibetan monks rocking out to Gospel music and Spoken Word Poetry paired with medieval chant?
