We wanted to find a way to share our experiences with racism and to offer hope to the world for change. Here is another one of our virtual projects:
SHADES OF PRAISE UNITY PROJECT 2020 

Shades of Praise New Orleans Interracial Gospel Choir sings “According to Your Faith”, written and arranged by Maestro Dwight Fitch, Sr.

Shades of Praise appears (briefly) in a T-Mobile National Commercial that Premiered During the Oscar Broadcast: Keep your eyes peeled for the people in choir robes: that’s us! We are happy to be included in this snapshot of the joie de vivre of New Orleans.

Shades of Praise Sings Happy Birthday to the National Park Service!
The National Park Service turned (or “made” in New Orleans speak)  100 on August 25, 2016. Shades of Praise joined the Centennial Band of our very own, New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park to sing Happy Birthday to the NPS.


Listen to Shades of Praise featured in the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Louisiana: Our Home, New Day commercials composed and sung by Jep Epstein
