In September 1991, the New Orleans Symphony disbanded. An apparent lack of support for classical music in New Orleans and an overwhelming problem of mismanagement forced the symphony to stop performing after 55 years. Many musicians leftover from the New Orleans Symphony, however, still had faith in the thriving existence of an orchestra in New Orleans. They held a last ditch effort gala concert in one of the city’s largest performing halls…they sold it out and played to rave reviews. This new orchestra was deemed: The Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra.
The LPO is one of a kind. It is owned and managed by its member musicians. Since 1991, the LPO has become on of the most respected orchestras in the country. Recently the LPO has sold-out almost every concert in New Orleans. Highlights of these shows include the Beethoven and Blue Jeans series with excellent adaptations of Beethovens 5th and 9th symphonies. The classics concerts series includes many legendary works from the likes of Tchaikovsky, Brahms, Shostakovich, and Strauss to name a few. The LPO will captivate you on any night, so be sure to see them while you’re in the Big Easy. |
