Praise Experience Chicago is unique in various ways: it is held on the weekend of Thanksgiving and covers different genres of music ranging from Classical, Jazz, Contemporary gospel, Afro Cuban, Afro, and African music. It is an event open to all with no restrictions. It is not only fun and uplifting but also educating. Each time you attend the Praise Experience there is an introduction of a distinct musical instrument which leaves the audience in awe. The event guarantees the audience a personal encounter with God. Femi Ogebule’s goal with the Praise Experience is to bring joy to people’s lives and homes.

Praise Experience is one of the biggest African gospel concerts in Chicago, held at the prestigious music theater in Copernicus Center, with a 1800 seating capacity. Its kickoff in 2018 paved the way for a series of ticketed African gospel concerts in the city which were deemed impossible before the Praise Experience.

Femi Ogebule’s debut album, Arise, was launched last year at the Praise Experience 2018. It featured a music experience with a diverse range of guest artists and band and orchestra. Femi creates some of the most inspirational and energetic music you will ever listen to. A music director, terrific artist and tutor, Femi has put together an album that will lift your spirit.
