After a year of planning and anticipation, a group of EKOSingers and friends are off to spend a week in New Orleans!

New Orleans is an amazing musical centre, and we have a great week ahead of us. We're incredibly excited to be workshopping with jazz vocalist Cindy Scott (like Brenda Earle) a Lovetri Method expert and inspirational clinician. We're also privileged to have the chance to learn from Al Bemiss, the director of the renowned Shades of Praise Gospel choir.

We'll be getting into the swing of things Sunday morning with a House of Blues Gospel brunch, followed by a musical history tour of the French Quarter. And there are some swamp tours, steamboat jazz cruises, plantations, and seafood dinners in the mix as well.

There are few places in the world with as rich and fertile a musical background as New Orleans, and we are looking forward to this long awaited trip with great anticipation.
