Presented by Goldfarb Financial
The 2025 Chanteuse: Celebrating New Orleans Women in Music Concert Series is produced by the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation and presented by Goldfarb Financial. Held annually during Women’s History Month, Chanteuse serves as a celebration of women’s contributions to New Orleans music. This concert series also represents a significant initiative of the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation to confront and reduce gender disparities in the local community and music industry. Housed at the George and Joyce Wein Jazz & Heritage Center—a fully-renovated, historic Tremé building—the Jazz & Heritage Concert Series highlights local favorites; it invites audiences to experience a diverse range of musical styles. By providing a platform for both established talents and emerging voices, the series not only honors deep-rooted musical traditions but also propels its dynamic progression. Through this collaboration, Goldfarb Financial and the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation reinforce their commitment to nurturing and promoting the cultural heritage and musical innovation that define New Orleans as a global jazz epicenter.
