The Orpheum is the LPO’s home. The sound, the intimacy, the tradition, the beauty, the history: all these are great reasons to celebrate. But above all, returning to the Orpheum symbolizes for me a coming home after ten years of heroic rebuilding.

What better way to celebrate the 25th anniversary of our nation’s only full-time musician-governed orchestra than to showcase twenty-five LPO musicians throughout the 2015-2016 season! Be on the lookout for this logo to identify programs featuring LPO musicians.

Jim Atwood, Principal Timpani

The Orpheum is, in so many ways, classically New Orleans: a beautiful space harkening back to a past era of elegance. It’s impossible to sit in the audience (or on the stage!) and not feel the sense of history that is such an indelible part of New Orleans.
