What is lpomusic.com?

Updated

lpomusic.com is the official website of the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra (LPO), a classical music organization based in New Orleans. The site is the primary place to find the orchestra's concert schedule, buy tickets, learn about its musicians, and support the organization through donations. It is aimed at audiences in the New Orleans area and visitors looking for upcoming classical, crossover, and community performances.

What you can do on the site

The homepage is organized around a few clear functions:

  • Browse upcoming concerts — A dated event list shows what is playing, where, and when, with a "Read more" link for each program.
  • Buy tickets — Individual events have a "Get Tickets" link, and a dedicated Subscribe page at lpomusic.com/subscribe handles subscription purchases.
  • Donate — A donor section states that gifts support the LPO's mission to "transform lives in schools and communities across New Orleans."
  • Meet the orchestra and engage with the community — The site describes the LPO, its musicians, and community programs.
  • Join the mailing list — A "Join our list" signup keeps visitors informed about future events.

Practical notes

  • Ticket purchases and subscriptions are handled through the site; the homepage states "Tickets to all concerts on sale now."
  • Pricing details are not shown in the site's summary information, so check the individual event or subscribe page for current prices and terms.
  • Venues vary by program — the Orpheum Theater, New Marigny Theatre, Fuhrmann Auditorium, and Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Cathedral all appear in the listings — so confirm the location before you go.
