ESU New Orleans Branch
Welcome to the New Orleans Branch of the ESU
Welcome to the webpage of The English-Speaking Union New Orleans Branch! We've been an active Branch for more than 30 years, and have over 100 current memberships of both singles and couples. We have a full calendar of interesting events during each year.
In early March of this year, the Branch sponsored its annual, high school Shakespeare competition at Tulane and our regional winner, Rohan Padmakumar, went on to compete in New York in the Nationals and finish as a Finalist!

An Evening of Purcell - The English Baroque
News
If you've hummed along with the trumpet solo introduction to CBS Sunday Morning or enjoyed the soundtrack of the recent movie The Favourite, then you have been enjoying Baroque music. Join us for a program about Henry Purcell, the most famous of English composers up until the 20th century, who uniquely composed Baroque vocal music shaped by the natural prosody of English speech.
