St. Anna’s Episcopal Church presents the Mission to Musicians concert series on Wednesday nights in June and July. The concerts, featuring some of the city’s best musicians, are offered in conjunction with tasty, affordable New Orleans-style cuisine.Started in the spring of 2006, following Hurricane Katrina, this mission has had as its central theme the heart beat of the Crescent City – her music, culture, and traditions. Since its inception, Mission to Musicians has been featured on PBS’ Great Museums, NBC Nightly News, The Times Picayune and numerous other media.
A Gospel healing mass starts each evening at 6:30 p.m. Free medical services – including health screenings, acupuncture and other stress relief ministries – are delivered at the same time by the St. Anna’s Medical Mission (SAMM) and collaborating providers. The dinner-concert follows the Gospel healing mass.
The Mission to Musicians concert series is made possible through a generous grant by the New Orleans Musicians Assistance Foundation.
Performances are held from 7:30pm to 8:30pm in St. Anna’s Parish Hall, 1313 Esplanade Avenue between N. Rampart and N. Claiborne Ave. (just off of I-10 East near Downtown). We are suggesting a $10/person donation for the event. Dinner and resources are available without donation (free) for musicians and artists. All proceeds go to the Mission to Musicians fund. Free, on-street parking is available.
