The Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra
(LPO) is an American orchestra based in New Orleans, Louisiana. It is the only full-time, professional orchestra in the Gulf South. [1] The music director is Carlos Miguel Prieto.
The Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra was founded in September 1991 by musicians from the former New Orleans Symphony. [2] LPO is the only musician-owned and operated professional symphony in the United States.
Hurricane Katrina in August 2005 caused the LPO's musicians to evacuate. Their venue, the Orpheum Theater, flooded. [3] Members of the orchestra began performing at alternate locations in 2006. [4]
